REVIEWS:
Urinetown - Palo Alto Players
"In Officer Lockstock's dual functions as the show's narrator and the long, truncheon-
wielding arm of the law, Weston sets the show's tone and rhythm with precision. With his
rich voice and erect bearing, Weston can be menacing, charming, and wildly funny at the
same time.
Urinetown is the must-see show in Palo Alto's diamond anniversary season." Kevin Kirby,

"The Palo Alto Players' production of Urinetown, The Musical at the Lucie Stern Theater
in Palo Alto is one of the best musicals of recent years. It can be reviewed with one word:
Terrific!
Terrific staging by director Greg Schuh, terrific set by Kuo-Hao Lo...terrific choreography
by Schuh and Christina Lazo...and above all - a terrific cast. This show is a case where
the phrase "Outstanding Ensemble Production" is an appropriate description.
...splendid performance by Weston as Lockstock." Keith Kreitman, San Mateo Times

Dirty Blonde - The New Conservatory Theatre
"This is a refreshing revival of what Claudia Shear, the author must have envisioned. The
actors are a thousand notches above the touring show. Cameron Weston, who plays
several different characters is a terrific actor. I tell you - these three actors made me feel
like I was watching a cast of thousands. The brilliant portrayals by them make this the
season's best laugh out loud comedy.
"Rating - Four glasses of champagne!!! A recipient of The Lee Hartgrave Fame Award for
Best Revival" Lee Hartgrave, SF Spectrum and www.beyondchron.org

Plus, a couple months after the show closed, we got another nice mention:
"Dirty Blonde has opened in London with the original Dirty Blonde Claudia Shear. That's
nice - but nothing can compare to the production that was at the New Conservatory
Theater this year. Far superior to Shear's version." Lee Hartgrave, SF Spectrum and

"Director Doyle Ott has assembled three very talented actors and helms a very tight
excellent-paced production. Cameron Weston has great skill in playing various roles. He
makes a very good Joe Frisco, a crusty ex-vaudeville star and caretaker of Mae during her
recluse period, the actress's first husband Frank Wallace and, in a terrific fey performance,
as Edward, Ms. West's confidante." Richard Connema, www.talkinbroadway.com

a bonus that gives the play an enhanced vitality and immediacy...Shear's play is a
delightfully funny piece that probably provides more moments of laughter than it does tears.
It's just that you remember the touching romance so much more vividly." Pat Craig, The

Broadway by the Bay hits musical target with Annie Get Your Gun.
John Duggan provides some dignified comic relief as Chief Sitting Bull, and Cameron
Weston as company manager Charlie Davenport and John Musgrave as Buffalo Bill are
fine straight men amid the musical merriment.
If you hear people talking about Broadway by the Bay’s Annie Get Your Gun, and they say
it’s wonderful. Darn tootin’, they’re right. Chad Jones, Oakland Tribune

The ensemble is strong and enthusiastic with some standout coval talents handling the
tricky and often challenging melodies in Finn's score. Cameron Weston as Gordon's
lover Roger is anybody's dreamboat while singing his solo "I'd Rather Be Sailing", and in
duet numbers with his partner their voices blend well. Linda Ayres-Frederick, San
