Dick Tracy is based on the comic strip of yesteryear about a detective. The show had its moments of pin drop suspense and humor. One minute you were at the end of seat in anticipation of what trouble was going to happen and the next minute you're in a fit of side splitting laugher.
One thing that sets this production apart from others is the use of multimedia. The tech crew constructed a tv into the set so you could see where the characters were headed.
Dick Tracy (Caleb Partin) and his partner Pat Putnam (Matt Osborne) are out to capture the ever elusive criminal Black Pearl who is trying to shrink big buildings all over the country to fit on her Monopoly game board. Adding to the heart of the matter is Dick's relationship with Tess (Lara Mathis) who moves half way across the country but is reunited with Dick by the end of the show.
The show was filled with lots of energetic musical numbers including Tess and Dick's Song,Tough and Army Rap.
The rest of Andy's Summer Playhouse 40th season includes Swiss Family Robinson, The Day The Earth Stood Still,The John C Russell Playwriting and Director's Lab and Cheap Cabaret. Come out to Wilton and partake and a theatrical adventure you won't want to miss.
