Musicals such as LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, RENT and THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW are such offerings. They appeal to population nichs who like out-of-the-ordinary stories usually including some perversion and are bigger than life. Judging from the reaction of the older-teen/young adult audience member?s bellows of glee throughout the revival of Beck Center?s production of EATING RAOUL, the show has achieved cult status. The story centers on the Blands, an uptight couple who dream of opening a restaurant, but who have no money. Through a series of accidents they come up with a scheme to get the dollars they need. They lure perverts and weirdos to their apartment, kill them by hitting the victims over the head with a frying pan (how appropriate) and taking their money. But, how to get rid of the bodies? Along comes Raoul, their devious apartment superintendent, who offers to get rid of the bodies for a cut of the action. The partnership runs amok, Mary gets involved with Raoul, and...well, you have to see it to believe it. Where does the title come from? You aren?t going to get me to reveal that juicy bit(e) of information. The Beck cast goes from the sublime to the near ridiculous. It?s worth going to the production just to see David Robeano?s performance as the bland Paul Bland. He is the perfect nebbish and, to top it off, he has a wonderful singing voice. Sandra Emerick as his wife Mary sometimes loses her humor level by going overboard, but, in general, she is delightful. Gustavo Urdaneta plays Raoul. Stripping as often as he can to show his pumped up body, Urdaneta, the only Actor?s Equity member in the cast, has a strong singing voice, but is often difficult to understand. Wendell McDowell has a hysterical dance scene as the over 300-pound Ginger Rogers. Other than that, the cast is pure community theatre. Director Scott Spence needed to work with his supporting cast to develop clear characterizations who were bigger than life, thus helping to develop the perverse nature of the goings on. This is not a show for everyone. The more mature members of the audience did not seem amused. The trio of seniors sitting next to me didn?t smile or clap throughout. The male half of another couple rather loudly wailed, ?Don?t bring me here again!? For many of the others in the sold out audience, the evening was a total hoot! EATING RAOUL runs through December 16 at The Beck Center for the Arts. For tickets call 216-521-2540. Monitored parking is available for a fee adjacent to the theatre and there is lots of on street parking. Beck?s next show is ANNIE opening December 7th and running through the 30th. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

They appeared in many shows together, probably none more memorable than THE GIN GAME. Reuben and Dorothy Silver are known as the first couple of Cleveland theatre. They also have appeared in many shows together. And, probably none is more memorable than THE GIN GAME. The 1978 Pulitzer Prize went to THE GIN GAME. The writer, D. L. Coburn uses the card game as a metaphor for life. The story concerns the interactions between two residents of a seedy nursing home. Both have been thrust into their surroundings by a combination of poor finances and a series of life decisions. Weller Martin is an embittered man full of rage. Fonsia Dorsey is a prim and self-righteous lady who has forsaken her only son through revenge. Even in the game Weller finds himself the perpetual loser and Fonsia, who wins in the game, continues to return for more verbal abuse in spite of her protestations. The conclusion leaves both the characters and the audience unnerved. The Silvers performed THE GIN GAME seven years ago on the same Ensemble stage. When asked why they are revisiting the piece they stated, ?We were determined to make the obligatory effort to refresh and deepen our earlier production, and particularly, to rediscover the weightier issue of Weller and Fonsia?s relationship--the issues that might be masked by the stronger humor.? Some might ask if the Silvers, themselves, needed to revisit themselves after almost a decade of growth and aging. The Silvers give strong performances in the well-crafted play. The strongest moment of the evening is the ending when Weller, who has longed to win a single hand of cards in an attempt to counter a lifetime of defeats, exits the stage a broken man. Reuben, leaves no doubt that he is a defeated soul. Fonsia at that same moment realizes her self-righteous rigidity has led to driving away yet another human being. Dorothy, as she sits alone on stage, properly reflects that anguish. These are fine performances. It is doubtful that the Silvers will reprise this show again, so if you ever plan to see it, now is the time! THE GIN GAME runs through November 25 at Ensemble Theatre, located in The Civic, 3130 Mayfield Road (west entrance; just east of Lee Road) in Cleveland Heights. TONY N? TINA TO BREAK CLEVELAND?S LONGEST RUNNING RECORD TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING has been extended once again!!

Such was true with Catherine Albers in Dobama?s production of WIT, Reuben Silver in Cleveland State?s and Actor?s Summit co-produced 2 1/2 JEWS, and Dorothy Silver in Beck?s MASTER CLASS. Local audiences should have the same experience watching Andrew May cavort as John Barrymore in the Cleveland Play House?s I HATE HAMLET. The plot centers on Andrew Rally, a TV star who has just lost his soap opera gig and is convinced to play the title role in HAMLET in New York?s Central Park. He moves to NY, rents an apartment formerly occupied by John Barrymore, the most renowned of all Hamlets. The ghost of Barrymore appears to help Rally get ready to play the part. Now, don?t get the idea that I HATE HAMLET is a great play, it isn?t. But it is fun theatre. Author Paul Rudnick has a wonderful way with comic words. With a good production, or one which at least has strong leads, as has been demonstrated at many community theatres, audiences love the show. This is the case with CPH?s production. The two leads are excellent. May is nothing short of hysterical in his posturing, overacting, pontificating, and feigning being a sexual icon. David Furr, as Rally, is matinee idol handsome and plays the roller coaster ride of spoiled TV star to scared stage actor well, though his first act performance in more consistent than his second act portrayal. Their sword fighting scene is a delight. The rest of cast ranges from mediocre to acceptable, with surface level characterizations and lack of believability. They are much more community theatre caliber than professional. It matters little as the audience was laughing uproariously at May?s posturing and Furr?s frustration. I HATE HAMLET is a fun show. It?s a perfect device to use to get away from the world?s troubles and just sit back and laugh and enjoy. The Play House has launched a new ?Under 25? program which offers $12 tickets to theatregoers aged 5 through 24 for all performances. This, along with the ?Under 35? package which allows those below the age of 35 the opportunity to purchase season tickets at a 50% discount, makes CPH very affordable. These discounts are available for I HATE HAMLET which runs through December 2nd at the Cleveland Playhouse, 8500 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland. For tickets call 216-795 7000. Guarded parking is available on the Playhouse grounds for a fee. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
