Last weekend I saw NW's production of The Foreigner. What a fun little show! I can honestly say that I laughed harder than I have in a long time (and I am usually one for laughing quite a bit). If NW was ever to due a show that was pure entertainment, this is it...
Tucker Schneider as Charlie, a.k.a. the foreigner, was HILARIOUS. Definitely the highlight of the show. He hardly spoke at all during the first act, but his priceless facial expressions stole the show. I laughed so hard I got tears in my eyes during the second act when he began to pick up on English. He was great, as usual. Oh Tucker.
Hannah McBride was another standout. Her part wasn't a funny one like the others, but boy does she have some solid acting chops. Wow.
After I was able to compose myself from the fit of giggles that came over me when Kailen Fleck walked on stage with a mullet, I focused on his acting. Kailen is a VERY intense actor in general, but it worked for this "evil" part.
Sara Chipman was surprisingly good as the old-lady part, Betty. I was wondering how she would pull that off, but she and Tucker had some great moments together.
All in all, a fun show that I think most people would find enjoyable. You should go to see Tucker, if nothing else!
