Karamu’s ‘Aida’ is so good it earned a standing ovation
at intermission.

In evaluating productions, it is important that a reviewer take into
consideration the venue and the company doing the show. Karamu’s “Aida” cannot be compared to the
Broadway or professional touring company. None of the youngish cast are Equity
members. They range from being seasoned
community and educational theater performers to stage newbies. That taken into consideration, audiences
should enjoy themselves with this Tony Sias directed production.

In the musical “Aida” at Karamu House in Cleveland, actress Mary-Francis Miller creates a supreme blend of power and passion as the mythical title character. ... It’s too bad that her leading man, though, Darelle Hill as Radames, took a while to warm up to his role as the other half of this star-crossed duo in Sunday’s performance.

What
makes this show an exciting viewing experience is the sheer power of
the vocals that sweeps the audience along for an amazing ride back to
ancient Egypt. It is a show of love, loss, political intrigue, power,
lust and greed...in effect, great entertainment. This is a great show
to bring the entire family.
