When Lucius Fretway (Michael Townsend), a handsome young botanist, puts up a pretty female explorer for membership in the exclusive all-men’s club, all hell breaks loose in this nifty farce. The old codgers in The Explorers Club whose past conquests and ongoing research are decidedly questionable, rail against the mere hint of a woman in their tony club. Biblical scholar and serial misogynist, Professor Sloane (Richard Fiske), calls her a “harlot” for violating her feminine station and the doddering adventurer Sir Harry Percy (John Henderson), who claims to have discovered the “East Pole”, agrees wholeheartedly, that is until the lovely Phyllida Spotte-Hume (Rachel Hubbard) arrives, and he begins to challenge Fretway for her attentions. Professor Cope (Ricardo Padilla), a herpetologist whose snake has a mind of its own, is determined to keep her out.
The indelibly charming and brilliant explorer, Phyllida, has recently returned from the discovery of the lost city of NaKong where she has discovered a tribe of feral natives. Naturally, she brings back one of the savages whom she fondly calls Luigi (Omar Quintero). He is totally blue, as in skin color, as opposed to his daffy disposition.

Phyllida has figured out how to tame Luigi by learning his language and recognizing that a common spoon represents his god. With this insight she plans to present him to Queen Victoria who has agreed to an audience – a fortuitous and equally absurd opportunity. You will love the puns and rapid-fire hilarity delivered by a crack cast who speak Brit Wit in upper crust British accents thanks to Co-Producer and Accent Coach, Carol Strachan.
Things go sideways (frequently!) as when the club receives Sir Bernard Humphries (Meghan Mohon), an emissary from the palace, to seek redress after a club member has slandered the Irish who send a well-armed contingent to destroy the club. To settle the naysayers, Luigi fills in as the club’s absentee barman serving drug-laced cigars and drinks which brings howls from the audience.

The period costumes by Michelle Harris are spot on as is a gob-smacking set design by Tom O’Reilly. Huge props to Hubbard, Quintero and Townsend who take things over the top.
Playwright Nell Benjamin (award-winning playwright of the musical Legally Blonde and lyricist for Mean Girls and Because of Winn Dixie) sets this corker in Victorian London when women were relegated to rearing children while highborn gentlemen spent their time and money garnering support for far-flung adventures while exploiting the natives.
With Hubbard also playing Countess Glamorgan and Michael Fisher as Beebe and Irish Assassin.
Directed by Adam Konowe; Co-Produced by Alan Wray; Lighting Design by Myke Taister; Sound Design and opening musical number composed by William Chrapcynski; Hair and Makeup by Robbie Snow.

An All-Asian Cast in Signature Theatre’s SOFT POWER Brings Song and Dance to an American Story of Racism in America
Soft Power Signature Theatre

Written by Playwright and Lyricist David Hwang and Composer and Lyricist Jeanine Tesori, Soft Power is a musical reflecting the zeitgeist of the 2016 U.S. presidential election when Hillary Clinton was the expected winner running against Donald Trump. The musical didn’t premiere until Trump was in the White House and the nation wondered what the heck happened.
The story is played out in fantasy couched in political reality. In New York City Chinese American playwright DHH (Steven Eng) takes a meeting with a successful Chinese American theatre producer, Xūe Xíng (Daniel May). Xíng implores DHH to write a Broadway musical comparable to the King and I. DHH, aka David, begs off the absurd context of trying to compare the draconian politics of China with the democratic ideals of the U.S. They banter about the two countries philosophies – Chinese are dutiful and don’t need democracy claims Xíng. If this sounds confusing, it is, since the show was written before the outcome of the election then later rewritten. But you’ll soon get the hang of it.

Leaving the meeting, David is stabbed in the streets by two MAGA thugs, Bobby Bob (Jonny Lee, Jr. and other roles) and Randy Ray (Eymard Cabling and other roles). Bobby feels badly and tells David he will protect him from further racist attacks. And he does – up to a point.
While in hospital, David imagines a better scenario where Hillary Clinton (the amazing and hilarious, Grace Yoo) comes to him as a lover. Though framed in the politics of that fraught period, the show has its humorous moments as when Hillary gives a stump speech at McDonald’s while giant dancing burger and fries bracket her appearance in the song, “I’m With Her”. Later preppy Trumper Holden Caulfield (Nicholas Yenson in several roles) of Catcher in the Rye fame accosts Clinton and a stroller full of cats in rose-colored glasses explain the Electoral College voting system in the song, “Voting”.

The salient focus is the racism against the Chinese as fostered by Trump’s allies and believers and David’s dreamlike fantasy to live in a better, safer world as he tries to process his conflicted feelings to return to China, the land of his ancestors.
For levity, there are a host of goofy characters on the Trump side of the issues, Trump’s Veep (Christopher Mueller in several roles) makes an appearance as a gun-toting country boy, but the main thrust is the struggle for Chinese Americans who fear for their security in this fraught new American culture under the fired-up Trumpers. Fourteen numbers backed by a 10-piece band, amplify the polarization of the country since the election and the difficult future faced by Chinese Americans.

MAMMA MIA! Delivers ABBA’s Massive Hits at the Kennedy Center

Special to The Zebra

The show’s program describes the story as a mother, a daughter and three possible dads plus an unforgettable trip down the aisle that is set in a taverna on a Greek isle. That’s it in a nutshell. What it doesn’t tell you, but more than likely you already knew, is this jukebox musical is loaded with 22 of ABBA’s greatest hits and tells a sweetheart of a story. Not unexpectedly the audience was filled with mom or dad ABBA fans along with their daughters, accompanied by a gaggle of the daughters’ besties… and then there’s the rest of us musical theater fanatics. The score reflects the long history of ABBA’s huge impact on rock music and especially disco scene of the 70’s and early 80’s. For the parents my guess is it’s both a teachable moment about maintaining friendships and a trip back in time they can share while they reminisce to the catchy tunes that backgrounded their youth.

When Sophie finds her mother’s diary and refers to the time she was conceived, she finds three entries regaling three epic nights spent with three different men. Hoping to discover which one is her birth father, Sophie (Alisa Melendez) invites all three to her upcoming nuptials without revealing her devious plan to her mother, Donna Sheridan, played by Christine Sherrill. Meanwhile Donna has invited the glam Tanya (Jalynn Steele) and cut-up Rosie (Carly Sakalove), gal pals (from her former girl group Donna and the Dynamos), to the wedding. They’re a tribute to the lasting friendships formed as a girl band. Circling in the sexy (potential) dads, Bill, Sam and Harry, creates this rock musical – a cross between the Marx Brothers comedic high-jinks and a romcom.
The “dads” are the mystery Sophie hopes to solve in order to find the right one to walk her down the aisle. Her fiancé, Sky (Grant Reynolds) is not so hot on the her plan and thinks Sophie doesn’t trust him to accept her as she is.
(L to R) Jim Newman (Bill Austin), Victor Wallace (Sam Carmichael), and Rob Marnell (Harry Bright) Photo by Joan Marcus
Harry Bright (Rob Marnell), Bill Austin (Jim Newman) and Sam Carmichael (Victor Wallace) are the one-night stands who have no clue why they are there, imagining Donna, not Sophie, has invited them after 21 years. Sophie is 20. You do the math. They don’t know about a daughter or that Donna got pregnant by one of them. There are some terrifically hilarious and sexy dance numbers as when Sky’s bros create a bachelor party clad in blue Spandex unitards, swim goggles and flippers singing “Lay All Your Love on Me”. Later, at Sophie’s hen party the women reenact one of their biggest hits, “Super Trouper” in their signature, spangled, bell-bottomed jumpsuits. In another wild scene Josie seduces Bill with “Take a Chance on Me”, which he agrees to in a wild and crazy love scene.
Not to leave out the fabulously snarky and sophisticated, three-times married, Tanya, who is propositioned by Pepper (Patrick Park), one of the juicy cabana boys. In the number “Does Your Mother Know”, she both lures him and blows him off in fine, comic fashion getting one of the biggest applauses of the night.
Grant Reynolds (Sky), and the Company of MAMMA MIA! 25th Anniversary Tour Photo by Joan Marcus
On a more serious note, in a stirring number Donna confronts Bill, an Australian journalist and adventure-seeker. She wonders why he wants to get back with her in the number “The Winner Takes It All”. Throughout, ABBA’s hits dovetail seamlessly into the plot even the number “Mamma Mia” which Donna sings after freaking out when she sees the three men arrive at her taverna.
Whatever you do, don’t be one of those audience members who race down the aisle when they see the cast take their bows thinking it’s over. The wildest party is at the very end when the house lights are blazing and they all come out in glamorous ABBA costumes to sing a reprise of “Mamma Mia”, “Dancing Queen” and “Waterloo” cueing the audience to sing along. You wouldn’t want to miss that!
Alisa Melendez (Sophie Sheridan), and the Company of MAMMA MIA! 25th Anniversary Tour Photo by Joan Marcus
With Haley Wright as Ali, L’Oréal Roaché as Lisa, Louis Griffin as Eddie and Blake Price as Father Alexandrios. Ensemble members are Gabe Amato, Caro Daye Attayek, Adia Olanethia Bell, Tony Clements, Emily Croft, Madison Deadman, Jordan De Leon, Nico DiPrimio, Patrick Dunn, Stephanie Genito, Jasmine Overbaugh, Blake Price, Dorian Quinn, Xavi Soto Burgos and Amy Weaver.

Orchestra and the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra.

A Five Star MJ at The National Pulls Out All the Stops in a Thriller of a Musical
MJ Broadway at the National Jordan Wright August 16, 2024
Special to The Zebra

Here’s the lede. Without a doubt this national tour is one of the most spectacular and electrifying musicals this reviewer has ever seen. It’s a ten for dance, cast, production values, musical numbers, orchestration and costumes… and here’s why.
The story of Michael Jackson’s extraordinary career and its influence on all subsequent pop music cannot be understated. From his start as a child singing lead with his brothers as the Jackson Five to his supersonic career trajectory, his passion to create new and exciting music has been rock solid. Above all, he considered himself an artist keeping a firm hand on all production decisions as well as composing most of his biggest hits. He worked with Berry Gordy early on then segued to a recording relationship with Quincy Jones, both of whom told him he would be nothing without them. He proved them wrong at every turn as his star continued to ascend. It was the height of the Motown years and there were appearances on Soul Train and Amateur Night at the famed Apollo Theatre in Harlem that brought the house down. All these career-making moments are played out here through his biggest hits with over a half dozen of the best dancers. Forty!!! of his greatest hits expressed in this musical both in song and dance highlight his massive career.
The story does not gloss over the fraught relationship he had with his brutal father who controlled his boys with threats accompanied by physical abuse or his mother who tried in vain to protect him. It tells of the brothers he drew back into his orbit at the height of his success and his relentless fight for perfectionism. “I like to process my ideas through my body,” he reveals.

Jackson studied the greatest dancers – Bob Fosse and Fred Astaire and the Black duo, The Nicholas Brothers – all evident in his signature moves. The choreography features breathtaking gymnastics, ballet influences and the crispest mime movements. I read years ago that Jackson’s shoes were made by Astaire’s shoemaker. If the shoe fits…
Who can forget his version of “The Robot” that became a huge craze? As a boy he learned the moves from his friend and neighbor, Robert Shields, the legendary White dancer, comedian and Vegas headliner known as the “Mechanical Man”. It became a viral sensation when Jackson introduced the Pop & Lock with “Dancing Machine”. He learned what was then known as the “Backslide” from Black singer/dancer Jeffrey Daniel. When Jackson introduced it, it became known as the “Moonwalk”, and you know the sensation that caused.
The technical aspects of this production are mind-blowing with explosive, head-spinning technical wizardry and video projections that are used to establish the arc of his supersonic rise to fame. The number “Thriller”, replete with frightening creatures, is reflective of his relationship with his “monster” of a father.
Along with the stresses of Jackson’s epic show biz career, worldwide concert tours and eight Grammy wins came injuries, pills and anxiety. None of the highs or lows of his life are left out in this story backgrounded by a female director and her cameraman who are there to make a documentary on him.

Kennedy Center’s “Nine” the Musical Brings Broadway Stars Center Stage
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Jordan Wright August 6, 2024
In the 1960’s Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini burst upon the scene with his fantastical Italian movies and the fashion and film world went wild. Suddenly everyone wanted to go to Italy, eat pasta like Sophia Loren, wear Gucci designs, ride a Vespa and be as cool as Marcello Mastroianni. Heady days indeed. Nine the musical is based on Fellini’s iconic 1963 film 8 ½ that drew on his psychological and artistic struggles to repeat his early successes.
Steven Pasquale (Photo/Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman)
The story turns on Guido Contini (Steven Pasquale), a successful filmmaker and serial womanizer who has promised his producer, Liliane La Fleur, former owner of the Folies Bergères, another successful movie. Liliane (played by Broadway legend Carolee Carmello) wants a musical. The trouble is Guido, who harbors a messiah complex, hasn’t got a fresh idea for a script and is bereft of inspiration. In despair, Guido takes his adoring wife, Luisa (Elizabeth Stanley another of Broadway’s greatest stars) to the deluxe Fontana di Luna spa only to be hunted down by his mistress, Carla (Michelle Ventimilla). As his tortured childhood memories surface, he recalls his earliest introduction to the seductress, the lusty Sarraghina (Leslie Margherita from Broadway’s Zorro the Musical and Matilda the Musical)), whom he encountered on a beach near his parochial school. The adorable Charlie Firlik plays Little Guido as a boy. These flashbacks feature Guido’s Mother (film and stage star Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), his cinematic muse, Claudia Nardi (Shereen Ahmed) and other characters who peppered his life. The show’s title, Nine, comes from Little Guido’s ninth birthday.

Bringing it to the stage is another matter entirely. Having the seen the film version, which is better able to portray the paparazzi mania Fellini lived under (echoes of the hounding of Princess Diana) as well as the juggling act he maintained keeping his paramours secret from his long-suffering wife, I had a hard time trying to make the stage version as visceral as the film.
Steven Pasquale and Lesli Margherita (Photo/Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman)
Bearing in mind this particular production is a visually condensed version of the Broadway musical, didn’t help matters either. Only recently did Kennedy Center give us the lavish Moulin Rouge in all its visceral Broadway splendor, and I suppose I expected the same lavish costumes as in the Moulin Rouge scene from the movie version of Nine, however, apart from two feathered and sequined dancers and Liliane in a red sequined gown, there’s none of that. The choreography in this iteration is delegated to the female ensemble clad in sexy black costumes. Oddly, Costume Designer Alejo Vietti allows for no costume changes for them. Choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler who also directs, grants them dance routines that find them surrounding the other characters in a constant swirling motion. If you’re satisfied with a storyline sung by a host of divas and one handsome divo, played by Steven Pasquale as the tortured Guido you’ll be well entertained. The score alone is electrifying.
Elizabeth Stanley and Steven Pasquale (Photo/Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman)
Respectfully, this is not a full-on staged production with changing sets and fabulous costumes. I get that. It does have all 23 numbers backed by the brilliant Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra. And though I’ve enjoyed and raved about many earlier “Broadway at the Kennedy Center” iterations, this one had me wanting to see the original Broadway stage version.
