Our Readers Share – Jeanine Fassl – Theatre Review: Fireside’s “The Sound of Music”

To the Fireside Community at large;
Well, they’ve done it again! The Klopcic Family is once again providing terrific live musical theatre! My husband and I had the honor of attending the preview performance of “The Sound of Music” at the Fireside, in Fort Atkinson, and it is another iconic production of a classic you don’t want to miss!

What really sets this production up for such great success is the combination of local and veteran professional actors with voices that will absolutely thrill you! Bridgette Karl and Jon Reinhold lead this talented cast of 30 performers through all the favorite songs we’ve come to love in the 60 years this musical has been produced. Add to that, the amazing spectacle that IS the Sound of Music, from the costumes, sets, lighting, choreography, musical direction; all under the vision of Ed Flesch, and you will have a night to remember for many years! The cast and crew are so adept at creating the Abbey, the mountain side, Maria’s bedroom, the Von Trapp family villa’s terrace and a concert hall stage, in what is a most creative use of this rather small, but versatile stage. Dame Julie Andrews would be proud!

This production runs through April 17th so don’t delay in obtaining your tickets.

The standing ovation at the conclusion of the performance was undoubtedly well earned. You really need to treat yourself and your family members to a fabulous night of Musical Theatre. You will not be disappointed.

Sincerely,
Jeanine Fassl
