Christy Altomare(Mamma Mia!)
She has no family or sense of identity.
Act One follows Anya as she falls into some troubles.
If you couldnt tell by his five oclock shadow and slick black hair, hes the villain here.
(Movie fans take note: Rasputin and his albino bat Bartok dont appear in this production.)
Because the character is underdeveloped, hes not convincing as sinister, nor as lovesick.
Altomare and Klena fall flat, lacking the charisma needed to fill the slog.
The tweeds and drab wools of Act One are swapped for candy colored silks and Swarovski crystals.
A few thoughts ran through my disappointed mind as I chewed on my $8 peanut M&Ms.
Am I too close to the subject matter?
