"After their wonderful production earlier this season of the first play in Neil Simon's "Eugene Trilogy," Brighton Beach Memoirs, Fountain Hills Theater is now presenting the second play in the series, Biloxi Blues. The three works are some of Simon's most autobiographical plays, focusing on his younger years, with the main character of Eugene Jerome based on Simon. Biloxi Blues covers a few months in Eugene's life spent in Biloxi, Mississippi, for basic training during World War II. While this play is the least polished of the three in the trilogy, Elias Matthews is wonderful in this production as Eugene, and the rest of the cast are all quite good....With a talented cast and concise direction, Biloxi Blues at Fountain Hills brings compelling characters to life with humor and depth. Though part of a trilogy, the play stands on its own, so if you missed Fountain Hills' production of the first play in the series, you'll still be able to fully appreciate the charm and impact of this humorous coming-of-age tale. Fountain Hills will present the third play, Broadway Bound, from February 28 to March 16" - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
