Basically “Aida” is a hugely overblown (but sweet) love story that probably wouldn’t pass muster if it weren’t for the readily visible sincerity and passion of the actors who share this epic affection. Anyone who doesn’t get goose bumps watching husky hunk Shaun Leslie Thomas as Radames and beauteous, angel-voiced Raquel Nicole Jetè as Aida in their steamy love scenes must have ice water in their veins. And that’s not even considering the poignant songs that sound like shear gossamer silk coming from Jetè’s commanding voice.  She calls attention to that voice in “The Past is Another Land” at the beginning of the play, but it is Act 2’s “Easy as Life” that is a show-stopper. She and Thomas also have several moving duets, including “Elaborate Lives,” and probably the show’s most well-known song (there aren’t any others), “Written in the Stars.”.

The delightful (and stunningly statuesque) Caitlin McGinty as Radames’ bellerina ballet dancing shoes mylar airbrush painting wall art crafts stencil long-suffering fiancé Amneris captures all facets of this pivotal character down to a “spit-spot” turn of her fashionable heels, She projects a quirky sense of humor and deadpan face that endears her to the audience, not to mention that she’s comic gold because she stands about a head taller than her betrothed, Radames, Another cast standout is Montel Anthony Nord as Mereb, Radames’ chief servant who has gained his trust, despite being Nubian, Nord adds a nimble touch, as his Mereb is a loyal friend to both his master and to his princess (he recognizes her after she’s captured), Aida cautions him not to share who she is with the other Nubian slaves, but he blabs it all over the place right away..

That’s probably a good thing because later the Nubians rally ’round to protect her and one of them, Nehebka (a solid, strong-voiced Vida Mae Fernandez) gives up her life for Aida. BBB’s artistic director Alicia Jeffrey takes up the orchestra baton to lead the 11-piece orchestra in the eclectic score. Despite being written by Elton John, a man known more for pop music than operatic arias, “Aida” has little vestiges of rock and instead mixes several genres including gospel, maybe a little Motown, some African strains and even some reggae. The orchestra melodiously plays the diverse score, although in one scene music overrode two actors talking onstage on opening night.

Nicole Helfer’s stylized dance choreography is a bright spot in this “Aida,” making several ensemble numbers like “The Dance of the Robe” and the exhilarating “The Gods Love Nubia” (which ends Act 1) stand out.  Strangely, “Aida” has no all-out ensemble production numbers in the second act, an unfortunate omission, A vivid highlight of this “Aida” is the electrifying lighting designed by Michael Oesch, Oesch creates an entire wall of vivid red in one scene and does the same with a gorgeous hue of blue in bellerina ballet dancing shoes mylar airbrush painting wall art crafts stencil another.  But it’s the way he creates a large river (presumably the Nile) with lighting, shifting it, eliminating it, then making it front-and-center for other scenes that is surprising and distinctive..

Mark Mendelson’s scenic design dovetails with the lighting and, though set pieces are about 30-plus-feet high, they’re not overly massive — just bold, masculine wood structures. Merissa Mann’s costumes solidify the class structure of the era, with the Egyptians wearing more costly threads and the Nubians in simple outfits.  Mann goes all out on red-haired McGinty’s costumes, using vivid turquoises to accentuate her coloring and beauty. She dresses Jetè in simpler, softer colors, light pinks and whites, though sometimes Aida seems to wear more bling than you’d expect a slave to wear.

There is much to applaud about the Broadway by the Bay production, which does a good job of communicating the drama of the story, most of which endures, despite the sometimes unintelligible musical score going on around it.  Music just pops up in the most peculiar places, in fits and starts, even in a lovely solo or duet, and then continues interminably, There are a couple of songs at the start of Act 1 that bellerina ballet dancing shoes mylar airbrush painting wall art crafts stencil foreshadow what’s to come later in “Aida.” The play begins in a room of an Egyptian museum where the two principals, now wearing modern-day clothes, wander about without noticing each other until they both stop to look at a large, dark tomb at the back of the stage..

Amneris is there, too, standing Sphinx-like atop a platform where she sings “Every Story is a Love Story.” And, basically, that’s what it all boils down to. “Aida” continues weekends through Sunday, Nov. 18, 2018, at Redwood City’s elegant Fox Theater.
