reviews
“With music adapted from classic Italian melodies...and witty period costumes (by Joseph Shrope), “Romeo & Bernadette” feels fond, familiar, escapist: theater as merry comfort food.”
“The costumes by Joseph Shrope are a show in themselves, from Romeo’s Renaissance outfit to Bernadette’s mother Camille’s sophisticated 1960’s designer dresses, to the gangsters’ casual day togs and Donna’s chic sportswear.”
“The highly entertaining performances are supported by Joseph Shrope’s dazzling new array of period-style costumes that contrast the looks of Romeo and the later century and evince Camille and Bernadette’s passion for shopping.”
“The costumes by Joseph Shrope fit the characters of the 60s look to a T, with some fabulous colorful, shimmering additions where needed,”
