点评:This would have had six stars if it was just the production of COME FROM AWAY being reviewed. This is the third time I have seen the show and this production surpassed the National Tour and Chicago Suburban production. I cannot say enough about how great the cast and staging was. It didn't hurt that we happened to be in the second row. I feel fortunate to have seen such high caliber talent up close.
I am a big fan of theater and Wisconsin but had never heard of Fireside before. It was a quick 2 hour drive from Chicago on a beautiful fall day. We loved the grounds and the gift shops inside and since I am familiar with Wisconsin supper clubs were looking forward to the dining as well. The best part of the meal was the Old Fashioned and the bread. Most of the rest was somewhere between 'hospital food' and 'prison food'.
We thought of coming back for a Christmas Story but since you have to get a ticket with a meal we will probably pass.
(and I am sorry that I am writing this review after the show closed - or I would tell you to make the drive to see it despite the dining)
翻译:如果只评价《Come From Away》这部剧的制作水平的话,本场演出绝对能得六颗星。这是我第三次观看这部剧,此次的演出水准甚至超过了全国巡演版以及芝加哥郊区版。演员阵容与舞台呈现都堪称卓越,实在无可挑剔。我们刚好坐在第二排,这也算是锦上添花吧。能近距离欣赏到如此高水平的表演,我深感幸运。
我是戏剧与威斯康星州的忠实粉丝,但此前从未听说过Fireside剧院。在一个秋高气爽的日子,从芝加哥驾车两小时便可达此地。我们很喜欢那里的庭院以及里面的礼品店;由于我对威斯康星州的晚餐俱乐部较为熟悉,也一直期待着那里的餐饮体验。这顿饭中最棒的就是那杯古典鸡尾酒和面包。其余的大部分食物则介于“医院餐”和“监狱餐”的水平之间。
我们原本考虑圣诞节时再来体验一下,但既然必须购买含餐券才能入园,我们可能就不会去了。(很遗憾我在演出结束后才写这篇评论——不然我会建议大家即便要忍受糟糕的餐饮体验也值得驱车前去观看。)
