“Ease On Down The Road” is a musical adapted from the classic film “The Wizard of Oz” and was with great success at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills. The cast also includes a troop of cute, extravagantly costumed local kids who trot onstage as Munchkins.Some students were from Celerity Charter Schools and Orion International Academy. The blend of old-fashioned, classic storytelling was amazing despite some children were a bit off by routine in some steps; especially portraying the Munchkins, wind dancers and poppy fields.
Celebrity guest Actress, Adriana Fonseca had a great performance even English is not her first language, she broke-through performance. Adriana portrayed an outgoing sexy witch named “Miss Numero Uno. “(Miss. Number one) and the crowed loved her performance.
Television Actor, Dorien Wilson played the powerful Wiz or as Mis numero uno called him “El Jefe.” In fact, Dorien has a well based background in theatre and his performance was outstanding.
This production experienced some opening night glitches, but on the whole, the show accomplishes what it sets out to achieve – it’s a thoroughly pleasant tribute to a film that has became a beloved, cultural icon. You don’t mess with a classic in this context, you pass it on with love. Great performance by Caleigh Torrocha who played Dorothy. Another artist who dazzled the audience for her amazing vocals by recording was Peggi Blu. Definetely, this play for some pre-schoolers could be frightened and surprising for the quality of the actors.

“3 Hearts” is part of passion in a love triangle

During 106 min. this great film (‘3 Coeurs’) with unique French style and contempo which involves a love triangle with a Parisian man Marc (Benoît Poelvoorde) who meets Sylvie (Charlotte Gainsbourg) after missing his train back to Paris. Instantly and intensely drawn to one another, they wander through the streets until morning in rare, almost choreographed, harmony. A thwarted plan for a second meeting sends each in a separate direction –Sylvie reunites with her ex and leaves France; Marc falls in love and marries.
What neither knows is that Marc’s new bride is Sylvie’s sister, Sophie (Chiara Mastroianni). Upon Sylvie’s return to France, the spark between her and Marc is reignited in ways that will forever alter the relationships between sister to sister and husband to wife.
This film reflects part of reality of life. Sometimes one moment changes our lives. Catherine Deneuve still looking quite remarkable. Many locations are settled in Paris and a provincial town south of Lyon. In general it’s powerfully emotional film that references great romances of the past. Even the whole film is spoken in French, you will have the English subtitles so some dialogues are more enjoyable in French; especially, if you understand the basics.
