and

Man of LaMancha

WWW.BACKSTAGEWEST.COM "CRITIC'S PICK" "When combined with the excellent ensemble performance of the Muleteers--the intricately choreographed (Grant Rosen) fight scenes are genuinely frightening and the individual characterizations properly menacing..." SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS / THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2000 "CLO's inspired 'Man of La Mancha'" ...the usually conservative theater company has taken a big risk, gone for the gusto, climbed out on a limb -- and come up with a captivating and inspiring 'Man of La Mancha.' It is perhaps their best show in Years. As a tortured soul grounded in cruel reality and the victim of a brutal stylized rape scene choreographed daringly by Grant Rosen..."

But now he is fast becoming

the number one choice of CLO's around the country

for:

The Scarlet Pimpernel *

Grant is now scheduled to direct "Pimpernel"

BACKSTAGE WEST "THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL" "CRITIC'S CHOICE" "Two pieces of scuttlebutt surrounding this crowd-pleasing 1997 musical are neatly dispelled in Performance Riverside's scintillating Southland civic light opera premiere... When Nan Knighton's book...is given a less campy interpretation, it plays surprisingly well--an engaging comedy/adventure vs. the self-parody of Sill's Broadway and touring versions... actually works better in this context. According to the playbill, director/choreographer Grant Rosen based his staging on the original Broadway concepts... Yet there's a shift in tonal emphasis in this rendition... choreographer Rosen['s]...Exciting fencing scene is superbly rendered. Rosen keeps the pace snappy and enhances the enchanting physical design with his lovely stage compositions. THe boisterous applause that followed this delicious staging of an often-beleagured show sounded very much like myth exploding."

The PRESS-ENTERPRISE THEATER REVIEW "...'The Scarlet Pimpernel' over the top." "...the current production by Performance Riverside is as much fun as a romp in the park... Director and choreographer Grant Rosen keeps the swashbuckling action moving at a brisk tempo..."

Fontana Herald News "'Scarlet Pimpernel' Debuts in Inland Empire With Standing Ovations" "Go see this show to witness a new, creative production with all the extravagance of Broadway without high ticket prices and travel... ...director and choreographer Grant Rosen, who appeared in the national tour of this musical.... breathes a new vitality into grand musical theater for the Inland Empire..."

SHOWMAG.COM "Pimpernel Reigns in Riverside" Performance Riverside was chosen for the West Coast Regional Premiere of Frank Wildhorn and Nan Knighton's recent Broadway hit The Scarlet Pimpernel. Using the National tour sets...the result was splendid... It was most likely Riverside's shining hour. Director/choreographer Grant Rosen, who was also part of the tour, has done a remarkable job, with his large local cast and the original direction and choreography."
