PROMO: Colorado ACTS presents 'Narnia'

Colorado ACTS preesents our Summer Family and Friends production of...

   

Narnia   

Based on C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Book by Jules Tasca. Music by Thomas Tierney. Lyrics by Ted Drachman.

 

The first and most famous story of The Chronicles of Narnia has become a musical presentation of this unique, enchanted world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable, both good and evil, demonic and transcendent. The principal inhabitants, however, are the intelligent talking animals ruled by the majestic King Aslan, the great lion of Narnia. Though Aslan is often absent from the land (so that his very existence is doubted by some), he returns when the need for him is greatest. And entering Narnia at a moment of high adventure are some children—plucked from our world in unexpected ways to help Narnia and to learn from their Narnia odyssey lessons of courage, unselfishness and wisdom that will help them grow. Narnia wants to sing, and from the excitement of the opening song, "Aslan's on the Move," to the joy of "Narnia (You Can't Imagine)," your spirits will soar with all those in Narnia.

REVIEW: Evergreen Players presents 'Spelling Bee' at Center Stage

Ember Everett plays one of several hopefuls in Evergreen Players' funny yet subversive production of the musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at Center/Stage.

There's something unsettling about shows in which adults play children. On the one hand, we are encouraged to accept the characters' innocence and childlike perspective of the world. On the other hand we recognize the adult themes and agendas put into the mouths of babes, whether benign, as in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," or subversive and satirical, as in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."

Evergreen Players' current production of "Spelling Bee," as directed by Rebecca Stone Thornberry, with musical direction by Travis Yamamoto, is funny and entertaining, but doesn't quite hide the material's anti-church, pro-gay agenda under enough layers of wide-eyed innocence and cuteness. Satire is most effective when we gladly swallow the bitter pill and only later realize its aftertaste.

The concept and setup, credited to Rebecca Feldman, are brilliant. What better platform could there be to parade a bunch of misfits and marginalized outsiders, than an elementary school spelling bee? The show is calculated to get us to relate to them by recalling our own somewhat painful and embarrassing memories of feeling awkward and alone, and then extend that sympathy toward the next generation of pariahs. They even bring up audience participants for an extended stay to reinforce the idea that we, too, never quite escape the spotlight.

Jacquie Jo Billings shines brightest as Olive, a girl whose parents abandon their responsibility, one as an angry workaholic, and the other through a passive aggressive spiritual quest. Olive copes by sitting on the toilet and reading the dictionary, cover to cover. Who could have known that her lonely self-consolation would transform her into a champion speller? If only one of her self-absorbed parents would bother to see it. Billing's performance is so sweet and winsome, everyone in the audience wants to take her home and give her a cookie. Her wishful "The I Love You Song" is the show's true heart and soul, rising above the satire, goofy moments and wise cracks, eloquently expressing the cry of every lonely heart for affirmation.

It takes a while for quiet, unassuming Olive to emerge as the true star of the show, because she is surrounded by several equally interesting characters, each with their own fascinating back story. Josh Holcomb is a riot as the sniffling, snarky uber-nerd William Barfee, whose "magic foot" helps him spell out the words. I remember thinking "I know just what that kid is going to be like when he grows up," forgetting entirely that the character was already being played by a grown-up.

Ember Everett plays a very strange child indeed, a lisping girl whose political activism for liberal causes and whose "two dads" seem perfectly congruous with her bizarre name, Logainne SchwartzandGrubenierre. Devon Moody is appropriately intimidating as the over-achieving girl from Catholic school who speaks six languages and requires divine intervention in order to embrace her true calling.

Josh Rigo plays the free-spirited, home-schooled and frighteningly unprepared Leaf Coneybear a little too "swishy," in my opinion. Sure, the character's sexual orientation may skew that direction in a few years, but Rigo portrays the elementary school kid as full blown gay, making it more difficult to see the him as an unselfconscious, naive child. Likewise, Brad Wagner's over the top portrayal of straight arrow and scout Chip Tolentino strikes a high note and never comes back down.

The bewildered and beleaguered adult characters in the show have problems of their own. Kristianne Seaton ably plays the neurotic former bee champion who sees the competition as a microcosm of the world (which is true) and the solution to all the world's problems (it isn't). Ken Paul is hilarious as the vice principal who is recovering from some kind of breakdown, and the versatile Patrick Thomas plays a tough but tender "comfort counselor" and various other cameos.

Much of the humor in "Spelling Bee" stems from the choice of words to spell, and who is supposed to spell them. But it doesn't take long to realize that most of the bizarrely antiquated or specialized terms are actually selected to take pot shots at religious practices or poke fun at other institutions. Less obvious is the fact that in this family show, there are no references to a healthy heterosexual relationship.

It doesn't take a prodigy to spell out for us that the original creative team (William Finn, music and lyrics and Rachel Sheinkin, book) have a few axes to grind, and use this show to hit back at their perceived persecutors.

Fortunately, "Spelling Bee" has enough wit, charm, and tuneful numbers to keep the audience happy as they listen to a musical about fragile self-esteem, abandonment, integrity, honesty, the weaknesses of the flesh, and the lessons to be learned from winning and losing.

 

Evergreen Players presents “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”  through August 7 at Center/Stage, 27608 Fireweed Drive, Evergreen, CO.

CAMERON MACKINTOSH’S

NEW 25^TH ANNIVERSARY PRODUCTION OF THE WORLD’S LONGEST-RUNNING MUSICAL

BOUBLIL AND SCHÖNBERG’S

 

PREMIERES AT THE BUELL THEATRE

AUGUST 30 – SEPTEMBER 10

 

DENVER – The 25^th anniversary production of the world’s longest-running musical, LES MISÉRABLES, premieres at the Buell Theatre August 30 – September 10. Cameron Mackintosh’s production will feature glorious new staging and spectacular reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo.  Single tickets for LES MISÉRABLES are now on sale at www.denvercenter.org.

 

Based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, LES MISÉRABLES is an epic and uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit.  The magnificent score of LES MISÉRABLES includes the classic songs “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Stars,” “Bring Him Home,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?,” “One Day More,” “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables,” “Master Of The House” and many more.

 

“I’m delighted that 25 years after LES MIZ originally opened in London the audience for this marvelous show is bigger and younger than ever before,” said producer Cameron Mackintosh. “Over the years I have seen many successful but visually different productions, so it has been exciting to draw inspiration from the brilliant drawings and paintings of Victor Hugo himself, integrated with spectacular projections.  The new LES MIZ is a magnificent mix of dazzling images and epic staging, driving one of the greatest musical stories ever told.”

 

Cameron Mackintosh’s new production of Boublil and Schönberg’s LES MISÉRABLES has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer from the original French text by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel and additional material by James Fenton.  The production is directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, designed by Matt Kinley inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo with costumes by Andreane Neofitou and additional costumes by Christine Rowlands, lighting by Paule Constable and sound by Mick Potter.

 

The New York Times calls this LES MISÉRABLES “an unquestionably spectacular production from start to finish.” The London Times hails the new show “a five star hit, astonishingly powerful and as good as the original.”  The Star-Ledger says "a dynamically re-imagined hit.  This LES MISÉRABLES has improved with age” and NY1-TV proclaims “this new production actually exceeds the original. The storytelling is clearer, the perspective grittier and the motivations more honest. Musical theatre fans can rejoice: LES MIZ is born again.”

 

Single tickets for LES MISÉRABLES start at just $15. To charge by phone, call Denver Center Ticket Services at 303.893.4100.  TTY (for Deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons): 303.893.9582.  Groups of 10 or more, please call 303.446.4829.  Tickets may also be purchased at the Denver Center Ticket Office, located at the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex Lobby.

REVIEW: 'Cats' at Boulder's Dinner Theatre

Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Cats" is a tremendously enjoyable, family-friendly musical, whether you see it on Broadway, in a touring production, or when it's staged locally. But seeing "Cats" at Boulder's Dinner Theatre adds an extra special dimension, because many in the cast have been with the company so long, and have performed in such a wide variety of musicals, that we have come to know and love them as family. Seeing them here, in this especially demanding production, makes me wonder if there's anything they CAN'T do!

So for many of us long-time BDT fans, it's not just a matter of dressing up and going out to a first rate dinner theatre to enjoy T.S. Eliot's whimsical poetry set to more than a dozen delightful tunes, with extensive, intricate and innovative dance numbers, amazing sets, costumes and makeup. It's about wanting to see a whole theater full of familiar and beloved seasoned professionals, stars each and every one, pour their amazing talents into the mix to present the ultimate ensemble show.

I've seen "Cats" at least half a dozen times, but I came to BDT specifically looking forward to seeing the lyrical Shelly Cox-Robie play Grizabella and sing "Memory." I gleefully imagined how Scott Beyette (a fierce Che in "Evita" and snot-nosed nerd in "Spelling Bee") would strut and prance through the audience as Rum Tum Tugger, and couldn't wait to see Joanie Brosseau, who played a visceral Aldonza in "Man of La Mancha," tumble and giggle as the acrobatic kitten Rumpleteazer, as well as consummate showman Wayne Kennedy as the stately and venerable Old Deuteronomy.

Tracy Warren and Brian Norber

Alicia Dunfee, who rocked the rafters as Mama Rose in "Gypsy," Bob Hoppe who was a hoot as the irrepressible Tom Sawyer in "Big River," tall and tap-dancing crooner Brian Norber, Cindy Lawrence (in her 42nd BDT production) and many others in the cast have all enjoyed headlining roles in previous BDT productions. Here they are, together again, along with some fresh new faces, singing and dancing their hearts out and stretching once again their respective ranges as musical theatre performers.

Vocally, the ensemble is incredibly strong, and "Cats" has a disproportionate number of showcase solo numbers. The dancing is unbelievably tough, and very different from what this company is used to doing in more traditional musicals. It has a unique visual vocabulary of moves, gestures and postures. But they do a commendable job, and thankfully, this particular production is less eroticized than some other versions you might have seen.

If you've never seen "Cats," or if it's been a long time, or particularly if your children have never seen the show, Boulder's Dinner Theatre's version is a "must see" production. Then come back and enjoy another show, and soon you too will begin to follow the illustrious careers of a score of the region's top song and dance men and women.

"Cats" performs at Boulder's Dinner Theatre through September 4. Prices start at $35, which includes both the performance and dinner served by the stars of the show. For an extra $5 you can go up onstage after the performance and have your picture taken with the cats/cast! Call 303-449-6000 or visit www.bouldersdinnertheatre.com for reservations and information.

Then, consider purchasing season tickets for BDT's 34th season, which includes a world premiere musical opening at the end of September, "Phantom" (not the Andrew Lloyd Webber version...this one's actually better), giddy retro-spoof "The Drowsy Chaperone" and Rodgers and Hammerstein's lush "Cinderella."
