...John Morris' delicate flutes, harp and chimes. His speech, however, is erratic; and his discourse (in a harpy's disguise) to the villainous nobles is an almost total loss. In "Come unto these yellow sands," "Full fathom five," and "Where the bee sucks" Ariel has three of Shakespeare's loveliest lyrics; but Morris' supporting vocalists cannot hide the fact that Dooley is simply no singer.

Nan-Lynn Nelson has the loveliest voice of the evening, but the entire superbly energetic cast deserves praise for throwing not only bodies into the show but hearts and souls, which is always a sweet thing to watch...
