The Guthrie's production of Roman Holiday closes this Sunday. The big question: Should you go see it?

Well, that's like asking "Do you want to go to Rome?" The answer is almost always yes, and (at least for the next few days) you don't have to drop big bills on a plane ticket to see the Trevi Fountain. It's here!


Why they build this beauty for it to be on stage for such a short time is beyond me, but it certainly is impressive! What is also impressive are the large dance numbers. If you want a real, legitimate show, look no further:

 
I also appreciated the Guthrie's fresh take on promoting this show which features photos of the cast taking a "holiday" in Minneapolis.What a great way to showcase our fabulous city! Kudos Guthrie, kudos! If you would like to see for yourself, just check out their facebook page.

The only downsides? Stephanie Rothenberg is not Audrey Hepburn (although she still does an excellent job concerning whose shoes she had to fill), the lyrics are beyond cheesy and the motorbike doesn't actually go anywhere.

If you want a real theatrical show, they've got it! You've just got to get there by Sunday. GO GO GO!

Later days, it was just one of those crazy flings...
