Michael Lanning plays Dozer in the staged musical version of "Mask."
While this collaboration between the 1985 film's screenwriter, Anna Hamilton Phelan, and chart-topping songwriters Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil deserves attention for its ambition and the winning performance by Allen E. Read in the role of Rocky Dennis, the show's handful of hummable tunes don't rescue its clunky scenario from an overall emotional obviousness and uneven production values.

Nancy Hailey, ID I was lucky to see this two times and LOVED it. I would go again, if I did not live so far away. It is a wonderful story for anyone who ever wondered where they fit in. I felt such compassion for this boy who went through life with a more positive attitude than most people who have one tenth his physical disabilities. The music is inspirational and the highschoolers are a crack up. This is great entertainment that changes you into a better person when you walk out of the theater. Don't miss this, you'll be sorry if you do. April 8, 2008
james cukver city, ca 98 reviews for, at best, a mediocre show. well, it does show the world we live in,where american idol is the biggest thing on the tube. April 8, 2008
Veronica Salazar Hawthorne , CAThis was my first experience at a show. When I was invited and briefly described the contents of the show I wasn't excited. The moment the show started, I was impressed and stirred with emotion. The performers did a magnificant job in portraying the characters. Now I could say I look forward to attending more shows like this. I'm sure it won't be long before this show hits broadway. Write a review | Read more reviews Current, Upcoming
Through Jun. 8 This adaptation of the John Steinbeck classic sets the action in 1942, when the Bracero Treaty brought thousands of Mexican farm workers into the Salinas River Valley. |
