"John Van Druten's 1950 play Bell, Book and Candle is a playful romantic comedy that focuses on witches living in New York City. While it's a quaint period piece set in the same year it was written and has a fairly simple plot, it still has its charms and holds up quite nicely in the well-cast, smartly directed production at Don Bluth Front Row Theatre....Director Rick Davis has assembled a great cast who deliver well thought out portrayals. Vivienne Davis is radiant, clever and cunning, with an earthy level of sophistication, as Gillian. ...As Shepherd Henderson, Eric Schoen is quite solid and does a good job in showing how the spell impacts and changes Shep's initial feelings toward Gillian. Shep is the least flashy of all of the characters and his dialogue is a bit stodgy, but Schoen manages to breathe life into the role....the romantic chemistry between Davis and Schoen is palpable and quite intense....Don Bluth Front Row Theatre's production is thoroughly enjoyable and the excellent cast will most likely charm you and have you under their spell." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
