At the SeaBreeze Hebrew Home where ninety elderly people reside, we meet a core group of four calling themselves the “Supper Club”. It’s a tightly knit group consisting of Fanny (Naomi Jacobson), Barbara (Brigid Cleary), Hal (Michael Russotto)and Ruth (Claudia J. Arenas) who amuse themselves with jokes, off-color banter, gossip and card games, teasing each other relentlessly with feisty Fanny being the chief instigator.

 

New to the group is Ruth whose knowledge of Judaism is extensive (her late husband was a rabbi) and soon a tender romance develops between Ruth and Hal, a bit of a roué who falls madly in love with her. They are lovingly cared for by Nurse Mike (Rob Boddie who also plays Jerry/Soldier).

 

We soon learn it has rained for forty days and forty nights, fires rage throughout the country, they have no means of communication with the outside world, and the United Nations has been disbanded. A million people are dead in Massachusetts, and they cannot leave the residence as the hazardous air quality is killing people. In this dystopian world with death fast encroaching, the quartet of friends becomes dependent upon each other to survive.

Playwright Ali Viterbi takes inspiration from Jewish culture and religious text to inform her characters, their global predicament and their tender interactions. In The World to Come acts of survival blend seamlessly with gallows humor, hilarity and a fierce desire to help one another. “These all sound like the end times,” Hal prophesizes, as talk of doomsday is accompanied by references to ravens, ostriches and arrow snakes taken directly from the Book of Prophets.

 

As each day brings alarming news, a framed photograph is placed reverentially atop a spinet piano. Another resident has passed away, and the small group reflects on their collective memories of a friend. Soon Nurse Mike is caught stealing medications, forbidden by law to dispense to the elderly, and he is fired. A cycle of revolving nurses and angry soldiers appear in ever more frightening protective gear. One of the soldiers blames the older generation for the destruction of the planet. “We’re cleaning up your mess!” he admonishes. The accusation causes the friends to self-blame for not being more proactive in saving the planet while in their desperate search for food and medicine the hellish sounds of fighter planes bombing and ravens cawing echo ominously.

 

Viteri’s surrealistic ‘apocalypse play’ provides us with the key to the bonds of friendship and the sacrifices that define humanity in a world gone terribly wrong. It put me in mind of the great French Romanian playwright, Eugene Ionesco, the godfather of the Theatre of the Absurd, who employed surrealism to describe the iniquities of Fascism and Nazism, two isms recently resurfaced in our modern world.

Brilliantly directed by Woolly Mammoth Founder Howard Shalwitz in a co-production with Theatre J, and exquisitely performed by this multi award-winning ensemble, this powerful play is staged with imaginative sting. Viterbi reminds us that the shofar is sounding. It is time to act.

Now at The National Theatre the Multi Tony Award-Winning Play Stereophonic Reflects the Personal Struggles of a Band Who Made Some of the Most Beloved Iconic Music of Its Day

Let’s just get this one particular misconception about this production out of the way. Stereophonic is not a rock concert per se. As many, myself included, have envisioned it to be. The producers call it “a play”. Nevertheless, it most assuredly has gorgeous original music by composer Will Butler (formerly of the band Arcade Fire) and an emotional story based on Fleetwood Mac’s years’ long effort to complete their iconic album “Rumours”.  And, just to clear up one more thing, the show, Stereophonic, is in no way related to the Welsh band of the same name.

 

Writer David Adjmi’s story recalls 70’s era music production and that period’s notorious reputation of drugs, booze and Rock and Roll. Divided into four acts, the story focuses on a dysfunctional five-member band and two studio engineers, Grover (Jack Barrett), “We’ll just give them coke and booze.” and Charlie (Steven Lee Johnson), his assistant engineer and gofer, both young men trying futilely to keep the band’s massive egos under control. Lead singer and producer of the album Peter (Denver Milord) and the beautiful lead singer Diana (Claire Dejean) are an on-again-off-again couple, and, for a time, so are bass player, coke head and philanderer Reg (Christopher Mowod) and his wife keyboardist and vocalist Holly (Emilie Kouatchou), who seems to be the only band member who is sober and neatly grounded. Simon (Cornelius McMoyler), the drummer, the group’s manager and resident control freak, pines for his wife and kids back in England, who sadly never reunite with him in California. Despite their feuds, gaslighting and drama the group lays down beautiful music and gorgeous harmonies.

Set Designer David Zinn’s two-story set is remarkable. The lower half is a control room with a large mixing board cum lounge where the band hangs out, freaks out and disses each other, and listens to their playbacks. The upper half is the ‘live room’ where the group performs and is separated from the control room by glass walls so that the cast is always within our view and where we can hear them. In their chats they reference 70’s pop culture, debating the movie, Don’t Look Back, which starred filmdom’s “It Girl”, Julie Christie, and her co-star Donald Sutherland and mentioning Carlos Casteneda, a Peruvian shaman whose books on magical realism were all the rage at the time.

 

In the fourth and final act the band moves to a studio in Los Angeles where the album at last comes to fruition. Expect mental breakdowns and mind games in this searing psychodrama as the unlikely group rises to the top of the charts in this wildly successful, five-time Tony Award-winning production. What sets this story apart from other “rock musicals” is the candor and intimacy between the group members and how, despite all odds, they are able to produce incredibly harmonious music.

In April 2024, Stereophonic became the most Tony-nominated play in history receiving 13 Award nominations. It then became the most Tony Award-winning show of the 2024 season, winning 5 Tony Awards including “Best Play”.

Iconic Alvin Ailey Dance Theater Moves to the Warner Theatre Celebrating with Their Classic “Revelations” and the Premiere of a New Dance Piece Set to Avishai Cohen’s Jazz Trumpet

A series of short dance vignettes set to inspirational music captures the essence of this renowned troupe of contemporary dancers. They are divided into sections entitled “Embrace”, “Difference Between”, “Song of the Anchorite” (a world premiere) and lastly “Revelations”. In the first series a male soloist takes the stage alternating between power moves and tenderness set to Stevie Wonder’s tender ballad, “Never Dreamed You’d Leave in Summer”.  Balletomanes and, more specifically, Ailey fans are hyper-energized and, no matter where you are sitting in this opulent Neo-Renaissance theater, you can sense their shared excitement building.

Etta James haunting song, “At Last” follows. Performed by four males along with four female partners and a mesmerizing female dancer in a silky bright yellow dress who takes center stage on a raised wooden platform. These platforms will be used in a myriad of ways throughout the vignettes as the dancers configure them to reflect each unique piece.

Pink’s track “What About Us” becomes the background music for a piece about feeling unheard and personal isolation. It is a large ensemble piece that starts off with two males challenging each other to fight, seeming to search for the boundaries of their manhood, while the others endeavor to support them.

In the next piece, Ed Sheeran’s “Photograph” becomes the backdrop music for a haunting dance of desire and remembrance that put me in mind of the upcoming Winter Olympics and the ice dancing teams who perform similarly elegant and daring lifts.

 

Des’ree’s “I’m Kissing You” is a romantic ensemble piece featuring two lovers in a pas de deux that captures the essence of passionate unrequited love.

With Blackberry Smoke’s “One Horse Town” the theme echoes the familiar dilemma of young people aspiring to become more than their heritage and small town affords them. The final introductory piece is a powerful evocative solo by a principal dancer performed against a backdrop of Avishai Cohen’s sultry Jazz trumpet to bring down the house.

In all these pieces the troupe’s free-flowing, elegant, deeply expressive movements captivate. Signature positions such as wide-spread legs in deep pliés, hands flung backwards Egyptian style, coupled with their sensuous, serpentine bodies and awe-inspiring athleticism, all define the company’s ethos.

After the second and final intermission (I’m envisioning the dancers plunging into in ice baths), the ensemble’s iconic masterpiece “Revelations” is performed. Audiences know and love this dance which premiered in 1960 and reflects the life and times of Ailey himself. Its themes of African American heritage and culture resonate through the familiar struggles and challenges of the period.

Set to gospel choir music, familiar spirituals and Southern blues, this extraordinary and identifiable piece explodes with high-powered praise dancing and ground-breaking interpretive movement.  A curated trove of traditional songs serves to emphasize the mood from historic struggles to hopefulness. A sassy, Caribbean-influenced opening beat leads to its crescendo in the beautiful strains of “Wade in the Water”, “I Want to be Ready”, “Sinner Man”,  and “Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham”.

 

 

Moving and exhilarating in beauty, excellence and spirit. Highly recommended!

For those of you who have never experienced a Synetic Theatre production, I mourn. I call it an ‘experience’ because, how else to describe their unique performance style and silent Shakespeare productions. A mantles’ worth of Helen Hayes Awards proves their massive success with their originality, extraordinary athleticism and jaw-dropping creativity putting them above all others in their fierce approach to mold-smashing, innovative theatre.

 

A visionary troupe with roots in the Republic of Georgia, performers are extensively trained in stage combat, acrobatics, acting, modern and classical dance, and mime for months at a time before premiering each production. In this staging of Antony & Cleopatra, first performed at the Lansburgh Theatre (now the Klein) over a decade ago, many of the original troupe members appear. However, one performer, Irina Kavsadze, a cousin of co-founder, Paata Tsikurisvili, has come all the way from Georgia to take the lead role of Cleopatra. Irina is so outstanding, so mesmerizing, so extraordinary, that her performance warrants singular attention, yet doesn’t subtract from the rest of this crack ensemble to include the pantomime legend, Vato Tsikurishvili in the role of Antony, and Stella Bunch as the very intriguing, sinuous eunuch, Mardian, a sphinx-like trickster who serves as Cleopatra’s confidant.

 

The story follows what you may recall from the 1963 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton – or one of the many other Shakespeare productions of this classic. But I promise you won’t have seen anything as thrilling, as contemporary, or as brilliantly interpretive a production… unless, of course, you saw the original performed at the Lansburgh in 2006. I did.

 

Scenic Designer Anastasia Ryurikov Simes’ massive golden pyramid with steps leading up to the throne’s pinnacle sets the stage for the story to unfold when the divine seductress Cleopatra faces off against her scheming brother Ptolemy (Natan Maël Gray). In this civil war the siblings battle each other for their right to Egypt’s throne while engaging with the opposing warriors. Swords clash and actual sparks fly, lighting up the stage, as metal meets metal and Ptolemy’s gains the throne.

At last Caesar and his formidable army comes to her aid and she reclaims the throne. Later the dashing Marc Antony kills Ptolemy and Rome’s power reshapes Egypt with the SPQR emblem surrounded by laurel wreath proudly featured. The troupe’s stage fighting skills are very much on display as the throne repeatedly changes hands. Soldiers, guards and cronies clad in shiny metal-studded breastplates, leather strapping and flowing red satin capes have at it in a display of wild pugilistic drama and gasp-worthy acrobatics of which there is plenty to see here.

 

As power changes hands, large regional maps are conjoined and reconfigured to reflect the changing rulers as Marc Antony returns to wrest the throne. Of course, that’s not the end of it. “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown,” from Shakespeare’s King Henry IV came to mind. It’s very challenging to hang on to an entire country for long, as you may have noticed lately. Octavion (Philip Fletcher) soon returns with his own nefarious plot to steal the throne. Look for poison and passion (Remember the killer asp?) and definitely read the synopsis to figure out who’s who as the throne is taken, retaken and stolen and characters die in the process. And you’ll never guess who ends up as ruler. I told you it was exciting.

 

Inserting the sensual belly dancing harem is quite clever, leaving the fighting to subside when there’s a celebratory bacchanal at hand and a comical sex scene between Cleo and Antony with heads, arms and legs akimbo jutting out behind a short wall. But wait! Jealousy rears its ugly head and the fighting resumes. I won’t reveal anything more or this review would take an encyclopedia of scenic descriptions. You’re on your own now. Enjoy it to the fullest.
