Fortunately, the characterizations become less visible when other characters join the fray — Tom Reardon as high-rolling ladies man Sky Masterson is terrific, as are Mary Kalita as Adelaide, the long-suffering fiance of Nathan, and Kimberly Nearon as Sister Sarah, the pious missionary “doll” who becomes the centerpiece of a bet that Sky walks into.

That’s a pretty safe bet.

Board members plan to reschedule the performances as soon as possible. But the company will hold its annual benefit gala May 5 at the Kaiser Center Auditorium and move ahead with new Saturday ballet classes beginning Jan. 28, as well as a summer Oakland Ballet boot camp at Mills College.

Michele says she always wanted to record an album, even if she “never really knew what kind.” The breakneck shooting schedule for the series made that difficult. “I was really settled at ‘Glee’ and settled in my personal life.
