Cleburne Times-Review Calls Local Man of La Mancha -- "Marvelous"
Matt Snider, reviewing the local production of Man of La Mancha for the Cleburne Times-Review in Texas, calls the production "just terrific."
The play, which runs through March 16, is presented by the Greater Cleburne Carnegie Players and is its first production of the 2008 season.
Snider says that Hillard Cochran, who stars in the lead role of Don Quixote, "does a superb job." "The role is demanding in terms of acting and singing, and despite not felling 100 percent at showtime, Cochran gave a dramatic, powerful, near-perfect performance, remind me of the one I saw by Richad Kiley, the actor who originated the role during the 1960s off and on Broadway," Snider wrote.
Snider, in fact, has high praise for pretty much everyone involved in the production, including behind-the-scenes folks. "In fact, I have not seen a better performance of Man of La Mancha in community theater - ever - and I've seen a lot of them," he writes.
