"Featuring a sweeping blend of romance, adventure, and hilarity, The Scarlet Pimpernel is a highly entertaining musical comedy that shines in Hale Centre Theatre's production, thanks to a superb cast, rich creative designs, and tight, well-paced direction. This production masterfully balances the musical's shifting tones, moving from comedic moments of mistaken identity to thrilling scenes of betrayal and sacrifice. It's an emotionally engaging musical that never loses sight of its heart, even amidst energetic sword fights and the sweeping revolution it depicts....As Percy, Nick Gunnell exudes wit, charisma, and stunning vocals, effortlessly shifting between the foppish persona of Blakeney and the swashbuckling daring of the Pimpernel ...Marguerite is portrayed with grace and strength by Amanda Valenzuela, her voice soaring through the emotional highs and dramatic lows of her songs and scenes. As Chauvelin, Cameron Rollins is a commanding presence, exuding menace and a deep passion to his cause...Cambrian James' direction smartly leans into the comedic flourishes while never shortchanging the deeper romantic and political tensions." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
