Quicktake on “SARA CREWE: A LITTLE PRINCESS
The revival of Kosoff & Staab’s adaptation of Mrs. Burnett’s famous novel—right behind “The Secret Garden”— is first rate musical theatre for anyone old enough—and still unjaded— to appreciate its romantic moral. Andrea Ross in the title role is supported by some of the best musical theatre performers in town and a believable cast of other young actors, all tightly directed by Jane Staab. Music director Jonathan Goldberg has improved the orchestrations. Janie Howland has created a two level revolving set right up to her usual standard, as currently on display in Speakeasy’s “Five by Tenn” and Marian Piro's period costumes are a finishing touch. WFT’s 25th anniversary season continues with another sterling show. Suspend your belief in the ungoodness of humanity and go back to the pre-WWI optimism for a spell. It might do you and any young people you take along some good.
