Johnson’s County Gazette
So, you wanted to sit back and have a good laugh or two. The Love List at American Heartland Theatre at Crown Center is just what you need. You’ll get far more than a laugh or two. Your side may hurt afterward from laughing.
Only three actors bring to life a cleaver, rather simple idea. One man gets his friend to complete a list of ten qualities he’d like to find in a woman. Before he can turn in the list to a so-called dating service, Shanara Gabrielle, playing Justine, shows up with all those qualities. The med catch on slowly and can’t believe that is happening. Some incredible comedic situations begin to occur as the two men struggle with some of the deeper meanings of life (sort of). Sean Grennan and Scott Cordes bring these fellows to life. You’ll enjoy the comedic abilities of these two. Gabrielle, however, runs away with the show as a beautiful woman who changes each time the men erase and replace an item on the list. For an actress, that’s got to be fun.
Heartland is easy to get to. You park free in the parking garage and walk just steps to the theatre. They don’t give us heavy, avant-garde drama, just the light-hearted productions we need these days. And they do it so vey well.
The Love List runs through October 24. Tickets: 816-842-9999
