The evil Count looks pretty harmless here, but watch out! When his hair turns black he becomes quite sinister.
This beautiful gypsy band will also take on even more flair once the black wigs are in place - you may not recognize us then! But notice how stunning the gypsy costumes are, all different. We may be poor, but we know how to dress!

Unfortunately you won't see this handsome gentleman (Kyle Guglielmo) on stage in this production, although he will be front and center in UNCSA's presentation of
Oklahoma! next spring with his beautiful baritone voice in the starring role of Curley. For

Although there are monitors backstage from which Maestro James Allbritten can be seen in the pit, they are small and it would be hard for the entire chorus to see his baton. So Kyle keeps an eye on the Maestro via the monitor and then translates Jamie's directions (with embellishment!) for the chorus.
