![]() ![]() Um delicioso musical dirigido por Matthew Warchus, bem ágil, dinâmico, gracioso. Sure, this is aimed at kids and/or families, but the energetic staging is so inventive and the performances are so much fun that everyone can enjoy this devilish delight. Director Matthew Warchus continually surprises with lovely visuals and off-kilter approaches that add to the enjoyment. Tom Minchin's catchy songs are made even more clever with Ellen Kane's lively, inventive choreography. ![]() Her character alone is devilishly evil and her musical numbers are wickedly funny. Alisha Weir plays the title role with aplomb, but it's Emma Thompson, as the evil headmistress, who steals the show. From the enchanting opening baby sequence, it's obvious that we're in for some ingenious entertainment. Based on his book about a young girl with special talents, this musical goes full force. Alisha Roald Dahl tells stories for children that are always a bit twisted and definitely dark. ![]() Roald Dahl tells stories for children that are always a bit twisted and definitely dark. ![]()

The author, a Marine Corps vet, also spent much of his career as a firefighter. His brother, David, is a captain and active member. McCourt grew up in a firefighter family-his father, Edward, retired as a captain from the Medford, MA fire department. I was on set in the WTVY studio on September 11th, 2001-watching firefighters rush into the Twin Towers-while the rest of New York was trying to get out.ĭoug McCourt’s Notes From the Firehouse captures the true essence of these everyday heroes-men and women who sacrifice and put their lives on the line each day for strangers and neighbors alike. And in my former career as a television reporter, I witnessed first-hand how firefighters save lives and homes-as everything burned down around them. ![]() As a nurse, my mother spent endless hours helping pediatric burn victims at the Children’s Hospital of Buffalo.
