Cygnet Theatre's Cabaret
I attended the play on opening night also. I was very pleased with the way Cabaret was done. I loved the set and the costumes, together they really gave one a feel of a past it's prime club in the Berlin of the Wiemar Republic. Karson St. John was marvelous as the Emcee. Jim Chovik's denial was a perfect portrayal of the feeling of German Jews of the era. My only problem with the review is that of Joy Yandell's performance. She sounded pretty bad in her final song. But that is the way it was supposed to be. She was now back in the club, out of her dreamlike life with Cliff. I could feel her sorrow and defeat as she struggled to get through the song. If you have not seen this one you should try and attend a performance. I will be going back to see it again at least one more time.— April 23, 2011 10:09 a.m.
Lamb’s Players Theatre's The Book of the Dun Cow
I just finished reading this review and was wondering why reviewers have to try and impress us with their sophistication and vocabulary when they write a review. I would guess less than half of the population know what a leitmotif is, but almost all of us could understand the simple concept of a "recurring theme". I am sure that even less know that prelapsarian means before the fall of man. If you tell us that the play is set pre-people there is no reason to use the word prelapsarian. The paragraph with the word enjambment in it is hard to describe. The reviewer seems to indicate that something has been jammed together. I think that in fact you will find that it means two things have come apart as in a poem where two lines make no sense unless they are connected. "Breathless with adoration; the broad sun Is sinking down in its tranquility". But in the end I enjoyed the play immensely, or should I say "very much".— April 22, 2011 12:23 p.m.
