Review Hood @ Asolo Rep - Our Town Sarasota News Events

HOOD
Book By Douglas Carter Beane
Music and Lyrics by Lewis Flinn, Photo Frank Atura Asolo Rep
A musical retelling of the classic tale of Robin Hood and his Merry band, as they cross swords with The Sheriff of Nottingham, whilst fighting injustice and the Evil Prince John.
A tale of good versus evil….right versus wrong, with a good old love story thrown in.

This was an absolutely stunning performance, brilliantly delivered by an outstanding cast, who gave us a night to remember!
The first-class acting and vocal performances were second to none, and every cast member played their part to perfection, drawing us in to the story with their unique take on the classic tale while making the audience feel part of it all.

Combine all this with a musical score and memorable lyrics, that you will still be singing quietly to yourself afterward, resulting in an inspirational experience that you will never forget.

With the very clever set design and breathtaking lighting effects, sword fights and a bit of humor thrown in…..all backed by world-class musicians… HOOD is a must-see.

Oh…. and we can’t leave out the spectacular lifesize puppets, cleverly brought to life in the hands of the cast.

If there is one musical you need to see this year….

HOOD at The Asolo Rep is the one.

You will not be disappointed.

A delight to the senses.

Running until June 26.

Bravo to all involved.Val Walters
