'When a fight would break out, people would say, ‘oh it really is like a Sault wedding,’' says director Marc Beaudette, who was thrilled with how ART’s production of Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding went this week
The Sault’s largest and perhaps most chaotic 'wedding' of the year came to a dynamic end Saturday evening, but the demand for dinner theatre appears to have only just begun.
Bringing back dinner theatre for the first time since before the pandemic, ART co-director Marc Beaudette was thrilled with how the show went, and he says the performances only got better as the days rolled by. Expected to find a balance between sticking with the script while improvising when appropriate, actors remained in character for upwards of four hours, four days in a row.“A few of them had done murder mysteries before, but they’re nowhere near the scale of this show,” he says. “It’s a very daunting task to ask of them.”
“The Wild Stallyns were very dynamic and added so much more than just the music,” Beaudette says. “We put them in some bits, and apart from Christina Speers, who has some acting experience, the others really don’t, and they just jumped in with both feet and did something they’re not used to doing, and they were great.”
“We did have one woman reach out who said they had seen the show in Toronto, and she thought the cast here was 10 times better.”“The Machine shop was fantastic,” he says. “The food was dynamite, and the service staff fit right into the show without detracting from anything. The look of that room was just amazing.”
