Powerhouse vocal performances by Gregg Baker, Jeannette Bayardelle, and a talented supporting cast bring this Diane Paulus-directed R&B adaptation of Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" on a ride to glory-with occasional detours to goofiness. - Don Aucoin, Globe Staff
There are lots of ways to present Shakespeare's works, and the American Repertory Theater chooses a musical in "Best of Both Worlds." Based on the Bard's "The Winter's Tale," this family musical erupts with R&B and gospel delivered by Greater Boston choirs from schools, churches, and the community. Jealousy rears its ugly head in this story of heartbreak and redemption, but it ends with the restoration of family bonds, faith, and forgiveness. -- June Wulff, Globe Staff
