Review "Pantaleon y las visitadoras"
nytheatre.com
October 19, 2009
By Montserrat Mendez
“…the entire cast is an absolute knockout…Andres Cabas has given New York theatre one of the most exciting scores I have heard in a long time.”
“Directed with fastidious and nearly flawless attention to detail by Jorge Ali Triana, the musical is a technical wonder, with projections that appear to float in mid-air, and an inventive staging language…creates a world that reaches near Broadway levels of intoxication.”
“…if this were a Broadway musical it would make Tony nominees of Anthony Alvarez, who undergoes a magnificent transformation as Pantaleon, and Zulema Clares, his adoring, adorable, devoted wife. She is the grounding force of the musical…she has found a balance which is always connected to the truth, and by default gives the story its heart….”
“…Denise Quinones takes the stage like Kathleen Turner took the film Body Heat…. a thrilling performance…the kind of star wattage that can absolutely take your breath away and send you searching for an asthma inhaler…a bold, risky, and marvelous performance.”
