CHICAGO

RIVERSIDE THEATRE (VERO BEACH, FL)

Brilliantly choreographed..Darren Lee turns in rich, fun, sexy and character-driven choreography that both challenges his performers and sets them loose with bawdy, foot pounding, body flinging movement. Indeed, he doesn't let a moment go by without infusing it with attitude and style.

Florida Today by Pam Harbaugh

 

Choreographer Lee knows the show well, having appeared in it on Broadway and in the Oscar-winning film. He pays homage to Fosse with a few of his signature steps, but moves away from the more extreme splayed, hunch-shouldered, tush-twitching dance vocabulary. That does not stop him from building such athletic showstoppers as the tone-setting Cell Block Tango, the frenetic We Both Reached For the Gun and the mock salute to motherhood, Me and My Baby.

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE

DIAMOND HEAD THEATRE (HONOLULU, HI)

"But this season-opener for Diamond Head Theatre, directed and choreographed by Darren Lee, manages from the opening curtain to do everything right. Thoroughly Modern Millie comes across as thoroughly enjoyable and sets a high starndard for the new season at Diamond Head Theatre."
