“Stunning” is the word for Ria Peth’s role as Dolly in this production of Hello Dolly. She came out on stage with energy at TEN and stayed there through to the final bow. Ria is very versatile, but this role of Dolly simple “is” Ria Peth. Her delivery was so natural it did not feel like watching a show.<\/p>\n

She was well supported by the cast – with many of them standouts in their own right. Steve Burks as Horace Vandergelder also seemed made for the role, his acting ability is on par with any equity performer in my opinion.<\/p>\n

John Baker as Cornelius Hakl and Luc Van Pelt as Barnaby Tucker were solidly cast as the well meaning, good hearted, bumbling dynamic bachelor duo. Both roles were very believable and they played off each other like seasoned vaudeville performers.<\/p>\n

The Maitre D’ was side splittingly funny – I apologize I don’t know the name of that role. It was a great surprised to have such a strong actor appear in the second half of the show.<\/p>\n

My hat is off to pianist Ramon Hayes. I never heard a moment where music was off from the singers, he guided well and has a seasoned commanding presence at the piano. Bravo!<\/p>\n

I’ve only lived in Skagit County now for 8 months, but this is the funniest show I’ve seen up here yet. NO dead spots in the show.<\/p>\n

Ria, you are incredible – the room was full of your fans this evening (myself included!) and deservedly so.<\/p>\n
