Anne of Green Gables: Part 1

See it if You love Anne of Green Gables and want to see a new take. Apparently this is 4 parts. It is a 1 woman show with 4 dancers

Don't see it if You need a full cast and don't enjoy one woman shows. Wasn't into it personally.

See it if You like Anne of Green Gables and are open to one actor playing multiple parts. The show uses dance to tell the story as well.

Don't see it if You only like A traditional big show with multiple actors and flashy song and dance numbers. Also, if you don't care about AOGG.

See it if You enjoy non-traditional staging - all parts are played by one actor, with four dancers accompanying. Unusual, enjoyable and well-acted.

Don't see it if You are expecting a traditional show and don't like plays with music, dance and video elements.

See it if you liked the book Anne of Green Gables or any of Lucy Maud Montgomery's works, intimate shows, & stories about girlhood/growing up

Don't see it if you don't like small shows. The theater is up 3 flights of stairs, also.

See it if You are a Anne fan and want to see the story told in a new, interesting way. You enjoy shows where many characters are played by one person.

Don't see it if You are expecting a traditional, children's theater-type retelling. You are bringing very young children or can't climb stairs.

Also This theater was up three flights of stairs, and there's no elevator. Nothing offensive or violent, but very young kids will have trouble following the shifts between characters. Kids 8 and up who enjoy the book/s will probably love it.... Read more Read less

See it if you love the "anne" story and want to see a talented actor take on all the roles

Don't see it if you don't like one person acting all the roles

See it if you enjoy a new look at a well-known story, and you don't mind one woman playing all of the speaking parts.

Don't see it if you are looking for a traditional version of Anne. But even with a non-traditional adaptation, LM Montgomery's Anne is as charming as always

Also Rocky Vega did a marvelous job playing all of the different characters. The dancing ensemble was impressive, and I enjoyed the clever use of them as "staging" throughout the show. For those of us who have read the book dozens of times and watched the Kevin Sullivan TV adaptation, we know all the lines. So although we may not have laughed out loud, we were still thoroughly entertained!... Read more Read less

See it if An stripped down version of Anne of green gables. You enjoy a one person show and dancing

Don't see it if If you are expecting a big fully developed show

Also The show was a fun stripped down version of Anne of Green Gables. The actress who plays all the roles was very good at keeping different mannerisms for each character and she really captured Anne's youthful sprit.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see an experimental production that captures the spirit of the original work, or if you enjoy a performer playing multiple roles

Don't see it if you'd rather watch something more fully-formed (it is a work in progress)

See it if You want to see a fabulous show that you can go see right after work and still make it home at a decent hour.

Don't see it if You’re under 10 (or so they say).

Also I absolutely loved this show. Every gorgeous minute of it.

It’s put on by Royal Family Productions and it’s based on a children’s book so one would think it’s for kids? Not necessarily. When I saw it, the theater was packed with people of all ages and there was only one kid in sight. So don’t worry if you don’t have a wee one in tow. You can still absolutely go to see this gorgeous production without one.

The stage was lovely, the acting and dancing wonderful, and the story intriguing. It was funny, happy, sad, and uplifting. Get tickets while you can. It’s extremely good, at a great time, decently short and not too expensive. What else can one ask for?

The theater is up two flights of steps, is general admission, and you should be able to see well from every seat. Enjoy!... Read more Read less

Don't see it if one person acting everything out isn't for you.

See it if Amazing story!

Don't see it if you are looking for a BIG production... but this small theatre's direction, acting, dance, lighting, music, AV -- all get my BRAVO!

Also Rocky Vega is one to watch!! Her performance pulled me in and took me along the journey with clear yet seamless transitions between characters. Bravo to Rocky and to the adaptation and direction from Chris Henry. Special treat, too, to have Ali Ewoldt of Phantom on Broadway as a special host for the performance.... Read more Read less

See it if You are into something new and refreshing.

Don't see it if You prefer traditional theater.

Also This is really an amazing piece. There is only one actor who plays everyone, but several dancers who fill in for the lack of actors even though they don't talk. Personally, there is no see it or don't see it. Just decide if you're the type of person who likes this type of theater, and go see it.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy innovative staging and the incorporation of movement and dance into a theatre piece.

Don't see it if you need a traditional linear narritive and don't like to use your imagination.

Also This lovely retelling of the classic tale of a special orphan, who finally finds a home in the most unlikely of places and against the odds, is beautifully realized by The Royal Family Theatre Company. One young actress plays all the roles in the story. She is supported by a quartet of dancers - figuratively and literally. It is a theatrical and quite moving piece.... Read more Read less
