I can’t count how many of my reviews of BDT Stage shows have begun with something like, “I’m not usually a fan of Disney/Andrew Lloyd Webber/Whomever, but this production delighted me.” That’s because the acting on stage is always good and includes fine voices and supple dancing; the direction is smart, meticulous and filled with electric energy; and the tech is first-rate. Add the fact that the company, which started out as Boulder’s Dinner Theatre, regularly combines charming new talent with the work of highly skilled and more seasoned performers, and I can almost always find surprising pleasures in even well-worn and conventional work, all while reminding myself of BDT’s periodic insertion of something more challenging into the schedule, like Ragtime, which returns early next year…
