CARNIVAL
St. Bart's Playhouse, NY
Carnival Capers
“I haven't seen a musical in quite a time, so when word reached Back Stage that St. Bart's Carnival, directed and choreographed by Gary John La Rosa, was loaded with a variety of dance, I headed for the company's Playhouse.”
“…ample opportunities were offered to display dances from all over. Director-choreographer La Rosa certainly made the most of them.”
“…the scene takes on a nightmarish aura that succeeds in displaying the confused girl's conflicting emotions regarding carnival life.”
“‘Cirque de Paris,’ in which everyone joined in a can-can, made a delectable conclusion to the choreographic picture.”
