Director Shana Carroll’s version of the feud between the Montagues and Capulets takes it to the next level reflecting a circus-like version with tumblers, acrobats and jugglers. The show opens with eleven acrobats and a referee who calls out, “Let the games begin!” It’s a playful boxing match with two teams – red and blue. Red or blue colored wristbands have been handed out to audience members based on which side of the theatre we’re seated. The performers encourage us to root for “our” team and the audience gets into the spirit from the get-go.

 

The fight consists of competitive leaps and dives and fake boxing feints as the competitors outdo each other to huge applause when their team is named the winner. Daring athletic pole work is involved while quotations from The Bard are projected over the participants. Expect to see splits, lifts, hoop diving and somersaults as Romeo and Juliet play out their romance along with the acrobats. The more complex aerial feats like the Chinese pole and the trapeze build the momentum when the rigging is revealed, and the battles and challenges escalate.

Carroll has the props. As the co-founding Artistic Director of this contemporary circus company The 7 Fingers, she directed, wrote and choreographed over a dozen of their touring and resident shows. As Co-choreographer and Circus Designer for the Broadway show Water for Elephants she earned Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle noms for “Best Choreography”. Carroll honed her skills at Cirque du Soleil, and if you are familiar with those spectacles, you’ll recognize many of this show’s acts from hula hooping to the diabolo, aerial silks, teeterboard, juggling, trapeze, complex lifts and more. I swear Juliet turned herself inside out in a trapeze act with her Romeo!

 

The playbill describes the company’s international cast’s tours staging original productions from intimate one-man shows scaling up to large arena performances, Broadway musicals, artistic collaborations with renowned international artists and companies, special events, Olympic ceremonies, televised performances, fashion, art and music events, immersive experiences and so much more.

“I got blown off course on the tail end of a tesseract,” explains Mrs Whatsit, describing traveling through time and space by wrinkling the fabric of the universe. And, boom! Off we go, as prolific novelist Madeleine L’Engle’s tale of space travelers comes to life. Three teens, the awkward and gutsy Meg Murry, Calvin O’Keefe, her poetry-loving boyfriend and her mindreading brother Charles Wallace Murry, “I get these convulsions”, begin their cosmic adventure through the fifth dimension to find their scientist father, Dr. Alex Murry, who has teleported to the dark planet of Camazotz where he is being held captive by an evil ruler. These kids have their work cut out for them – logically, mathematically and emotionally.

You probably saw A Wrinkle in Time listed in my monthly “What’s Onstage in the DMV” column. Since its opening, the most frequent query I’ve received has been, “Is this for kids or adults?” Millions have seen the movie and millions more have read L’Engle’s book and that’s useful, because it’s tricky to follow if you don’t know you’ll be traveling to different universes. It was for me. To guide me through the megaverse (or should I say, multiverse, I am not well-versed in these things), I brought along a friend who is a huge fan of the book and knew both the characters and the story. But to answer who should see this? Everyone!

Apart from some sound issues on opening night, this is a highly imaginative production in both story and score written by Heather Christian, a highly acclaimed composer, performer and librettist. It is structured as a sung-through with little spoken dialogue. The music is extraordinary – otherworldly and humanly harmonic – and the cast is fire! I promise you’ve never heard anything like it.

We do meet the children’s mother who has been anxiously awaiting her husband’s return, three muses, or shall we call them seers – Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which – there is no Mrs Whatchamacallit. The three guide the children through the cosmos with hot tips, urgings and comforting malaprops. These kids most assuredly need their help to navigate 5.3 million light years through the shifting galaxies and bizarre characters and creatures they encounter along the way.

There are political undertones to the story and it’s fun and challenging to grok them as they pop up like ghost stars – totally unpredictable and oh, so clever. Through storms and dark matter, aliens, heroes and colorful no-nothings, Meg finds her voice and takes charge of the maelstrom threatening to consume them. The sets by dots, costumes by Sarafina Bush, and puppet design and puppetry by James Ortiz converge to create this masterfully designed universe where we can all be transported as we dance and sing our way through the cosmos. “And in the end, the love you make, is equal to the love you take.” – – Paul McCartney, composer/lyricist from “The End” on the Abbey Road album.

Highly recommended! Fresh, captivating, and extraordinary!!!

With hot hits from America’s number one R&B/Soul/Funk/Pop group of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, this bio-musical from the Berkeley Repertory Theatre is a blast from the past jam-packed with 31 of their platinum hits. Told through the eyes of Otis Williams, the group’s founder, the story takes us on a top-of-the-pops journey from the original foursome’s Detroit roots through its heyday under record industry icon, Berry Gordy and songwriter Smokey Robinson. Through the years the group gained and lost members like David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin and Damon Harris.

Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of the Temptations takes us through the headliners’ triumphs and tragedies, telling the stories of their lives and loves through their music. Expect the greatest hits from their extensive catalogue – hits that a generation of us danced to, made out to, and sometimes got married to. Don’t think for a minute that the audience was a bunch of aging baby boomers clinging to fond memories of their teen years. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I looked around to see who was there – who was tapping their toes, mouthing the lyrics and beat-bobbing their heads, and they were all ages. Because you just can’t sit still to this musical – certainly not while watching their highly choreographed, synchronized dance movements these polished showmen were known for.

These were the tunes that backgrounded family BBQs, birthday parties, impromptu dance parties and early discos. Hot hits that were played in cars and sung on street corners where impromptu harmonizers would doo-wop the latest hits. There is joyful spirit in the early music – “My Girl”, “I Can’t Get Next to You”, “If You Don’t Know Me by Now”, “Cloud Nine” and so many more. Eventually though the scene changed with the death of Martin, Jack and Bobby, the Vietnam War and the group’s songs – “I Wish It Would Rain” and “Ball of Confusion” – reflected those politicly fraught days. Just as “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” reflected the psychedelic era. Ain’t Too Proud covers 31 of their chart-topping hits throughout the perils and pitfalls, loves and losses of their massive success culminating with their reunion tour included all seven of the original Temptations. The Temptations went on to be named the “Number One Group in America” and that’s why you can’t miss this exciting show.

The musical is backdropped with terrific period-centric projections by Peter Nigrini of Sponge Bob Square Pants and Amélie fame and choreographed to a gold standard by Sergio Trujillo known for his work on Jersey Boys and On Your Feet. Orchestrations are by the show’s veteran musical director, Harold Wheeler with music directed by the legendary Kenny Seymour. Multiple Tony Award-winning director, Des McAnuff, pulls the threads and it’s as tight as the group’s pegged trousers, sharkskin jackets and the sequin-gowns worn by Diana Ross and The Supremes who make a cameo appearance with Tammi Terrell. Costume designer and multi-Tony Award winner, Paul Tazewell, veteran designer of Hamilton, Suffs, MJ, The Color Purple and other blockbuster Broadway hits.

The only issue I have is why, oh why, were we teased with too brief solos by Jasmine Barboa’s heart-stopping voice on “If You Don’t Know Me by Now”, and Bryce Valle’s beautiful solo tenor on the ballad, “For Once in My Life”. Just when we had goosebumps.

Book by Dominique Morisseau. Based on the book “The Temptations” by Otis Williams with Patricia Romanowski. Music and lyrics from The Legendary Motown Catalog.

With Rudy Foster as Otis Williams; Bryce Valle as Paul Williams; Jameson Clanton as Melvin Franklin; Lowes Moore as Eddie Kendricks; Josiah Travis Kent Rogers as David Ruffin (played by Corey Mekell on opening night); Cedric Jamaal Greene as Slick Talk Fella/Smokey Robinson/Damon Harris; Mikey Corey Hassel as “Gloria” soloist/Interviewer/Delivery Man/Richard Street/Lamont; Robert Crenshaw as Al Bryant; Kaila Symone Crowder as Mama Rose/Florence Ballard/Tammi Terrell; Reyanna Edwards as Johnnie Mae/Mary Wilson; Kerry D’Jovanni as Berry Gordy; Jasmine Barboa as Diana Ross/Josephine; Colin Stephen Kane as Shelly Berger; Jamal Stone as Dennis Edwards.

You might say the country was as polarized during the 1960’s as it is today and you wouldn’t be far off. When Nixon was president a powerful youth-driven counterculture began emerging. Heavily armed police squads were combatting student protests and shutting down university campuses. MLK, JFK and RFK had been assassinated leading to fear and malaise. For a nation battered by the McCarthy hearings of the ‘50’s and the never-ending Vietnam War, there was no clear direction of where the country was headed.

 

Enter journalist Hunter S. Thompson whose passion for drugs, booze and poking the bear fueled his creative juices. In The Untitled Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical we meet the man, the myth, the iconoclast. Eighteen years in the making, this show has all the relevance of today’s headlines.

Apart from the juicy lifestyle gems Thompson’s world provides, Joe Iconis, (Book Writer, Lyricist and Composer) and Gregory S. Moss (Book) had to wrangle that material into a musical with characters as disparate as Hunter’s long-suffering wife, Sandy; his nemesis, President Richard Nixon, leader of the Silent Majority, “I’m gonna use my writing to take down a president,” Thompson crows and his barbed writing succeeds; a gaggle of flower children fans and freaks; assorted Hell’s Angels compatriots; editors from his work at Time Magazine, Scanlon’s and the Rolling Stone; Oscar, his cohort and human rights attorney; his neglected son, Juan; and his feisty enabling mother, Virginia.

 

Virginia’s job as a librarian included stealing books for Hunter. These classic novels sparked his imagination. “You can change the world. You can write it,” she tells her wayward teen. He fell hard for Scott Fitzgerald and spent a year typing out “The Great Gatsby” to get a feel for his style of writing, using the novel as his inspiration for seeking ‘the green light’ as a metaphor for finding love and truth. Throughout his drug-addled and booze-fueled career he chased his dream, creating the ground-breaking style of writing later dubbed Gonzo journalism in which the writer is at the center of the story. The musical echoes that journey with some of the wackiest, most wonderful scenes and songs concocted for stage.

From the A-list actors to the production design, this musical is a stunner with a fuse-blowing wow factor beginning with the arcana-rich set design of Hunter’s oddities and collectibles to the poignant finale. A wealth of standout songs captures Thompson’s wild ride from fame to failure, all supported by candy-colored, tangerine-flake, electric Kool-Aid acid characters. Okay, I cribbed those last descriptors from Tom Wolfe, another ground-breaking writer of the period.

The musical is broken down into nine parts with a prologue, epilogue and two interludes. Standout moments for this reviewer, were Richard Nixon in the entr’acte, played in hilarious over-the-top Vaudeville style by George Abud with the song-and-dance tune, “Richard Nixon’s Big Number” in Another (Stolen) Moment with Richard Nixon (The Swine); “Jann Wenner” and “Song of the Brown Buffalo” in The Fertile Ground of San Francisco; Sandy’s song of her dreams; and Juan’s heart-breaking ballad, “Hey, Dad”.

Throughout this wild and beautiful musical, there is poignancy, love, fear and loathing, hope and hilarity. See it, feel it, love it!!!

Highly recommended! Five stars, if I gave them out, which I do not.

The fantastic cast stars Eric William Morris as Hunter S. Thompson; Lorinda Lisitza as Virginia; George Abud as Richard Nixon; Tatiana Wechsler as Sandy; George Salazar as Oscar/Dance Captain; Ryan Vona as Juan; Jason SweetTooth Williams as Steadman/Fight Captain; Meghan McLeod as Flower Child; Darlesia as Jann; Giovanny Diaz de Leon as The Kid; Josiah Rey Cajudoas Puppeteer.

Take a deep breath or two, then prepare to fall down laughing. Oh, righto, dear reader, thankfully you’re already well seated. From start to rollicking finish this hilarious play-within-a-play on steroids never misses a comedic beat as this splendid twelve-member cast proves that anything that can go wrong, will… spectacularly. You’ll recall the old chestnut of Murphy’s Law, well, its tidy aphorism is cheekily born out here. Someone must have said the forbidden word, “Macbeth” backstage, because the Cornley Drama Society proceeds to offer up a shining example of the ineptest group of actors to ever tread the boards.

 

In trying to stage “The Murder at Haversham Manor”, this cockeyed amateur troupe shows that the play’s the thing – until it isn’t. Pratfalls, mishaps, blown cues and botched exits abound, dead bodies won’t stay dead and malapropisms are the order of the day, all done with a straight face and a stiff upper lip. That we, the audience, are in on the farcical nonsense, is the clever conceit.

 

Adam R. Adkins (Inspector Carter) (Photo/Bob Aronstam)

 

It is the night of the engagement party of Florence Colleymore (Suzy Alden) to Charles Haversham (Andy Izquierdo) who has been found murdered. When Inspector Carter (Adam R. Adkins) arrives at the manor to interrogate the estate’s fashionable guests, he doesn’t know whether to point the finger at Florence the seductress; her supercilious brother Thomas (Justin Beland); Charles’ cuckolding brother Cecil (Cameron McBride); Perkins the bumbling Butler (William Wheat); or Arthur the absent gardener (Cameron McBride) But it hardly matters in this whodunnit. With all the mayhem and mischief, everyone is under the microscope.

The only ones who remain relatively unscathed from accusation in this twisted mystery are Trevor Watson (Jermaine Mitchell), the Lighting and Sound Operator and Duran Duran fanboy, whose miscues and mishaps add to the cast’s confusion, and the Stage Manager (Sydné Marie Chesson) who tickles the audience when both of them wind up on stage to fill in for cast members who have been knocked unconscious by falling portraits or hidden behind secret revolving doors and the fourth wall is irretrievably open for business.

 

Cameron McBride (Cecil) and Justin Beland (Thomas) (Photo/Bob Aronstam)

 

If you’ve ever acted in or staged a production, you’ll commiserate with props that aren’t where they’re supposed to be, actors who are self-absorbed hams, sets that fall apart, and doors that won’t open. Especially funny are the ongoing, dueling divas’ scenes when Florence revives from an accident only to discover her role has been taken over by the totally inept, Stage Manager, who becomes feverishly attached to Florence’s femme fatale role.

 

Highly recommended!!! This excellent cast nails their upper crust British accents in a hugely physical comedy that gallops along at lightning speed. It’s a rollicking goofball sendup that’s guaranteed to keep you guffawing long after you’ve left your seat.
