Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune
Casting Spells Productions at
Minneapolis Theatre Garage
Star Tribune- Somewhat Recommended
"...This light romantic comedy cannot bear a lot of psychic weight, nor should it. It does, however, require an emotional investment that has us humming Debussy’s great “Clair de Lune” and wishing the best to Frankie and Johnny. This production accomplishes only the former."

"...The staging at the Minneapolis Theatre Garage by Casting Spells Productions won't do much to overcome those sensibilities, and it has other challenges for audiences willing to enter the world of the play on its own terms. Shanan Custer and Charles Hubbell are both top-notch actors, but neither is your typical romantic lead. That's appropriate to the script, and the show offers them an artistic stretch from their comfort zones of the roles they more typically play."

Aisle Say Twin Cities- Recommended
"...In only their second ever production, Casting Spells Productions takes on Terrence McNally's late-80s play, Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune. It's a bold choice, given that it's a two-hour production with a very intimate setting and features only two characters; with a weak performance by either actor or mismatched chemistry, the whole thing would fall apart. Luckily, both Shanan Custer and Charles Hubbell are well up to the task of carrying the entire show on their shoulders."
