"Hale Centre Theatre's current production of the murder mystery musical spoof Something's Afoot, which is an homage to the works of Christie that doesn't take itself too seriously and has a score that is just average, has a crackerjack cast and some sublime creative elements, resulting in a witty, fun, and lively crowd-pleasing romp...he plot centers on a group of murder suspects stranded in a remote, isolated mansion...While the score is fine and a pastiche of 1930s British music hall numbers, it's not that memorable. Fortunately, the characters are funny and the intriguing aspect of the show is trying to figure out just who the killer is...Director and choreographer Cambrian James injects the production with an upbeat sense of playfulness amid the suspense, and his choreography is fun and varied.....an ensemble show and the entire Hale cast shines with clear portrayals and warm singing voices. ...may not be a perfect musical, especially since the score isn't up to the level of the book, but with a wonderful cast and fantastic creative elements, Hale's production is a winner full of suspense and comedy." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
