Monica Norcia plays an Amalia who is somewhat older, closer to Norcia’s own age. This throws all kinds of new shadings onto the role. For example, when she sings “Will He Like Me?” it is not sung by a young girl nervous about a first date, but as a beautiful woman, fully grown, who fears that beauty has faded. This takes acting chops – and who knew? Norcia, who teaches voice in Marin, has an old-fashioned classical vibrato that reminded me of Snow White. Although a veteran of past NTC productions, it was mostly as musical director (“Most Happy Fella,” “Sound of Music,” “The Fantasticks”) and only recently made the hop from the orchestra pit to the stage as one of the Pigeon sisters in “The Odd Couple.” And then you couldn’t really tell. But when Norcia sings the stuffing out of “Will He Like Me?” a sweet, torchy show-stopper if there ever was one…all wonderings cease. That was a soliloquy and as good an acting job as I’ve seen in community theater.”
