Review of "Little Miss Sunshine" at Blank Canvas Theatre
by Bob Abelman 18 May '19

18 May '19

Blank Canvas rescues ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ from itself Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal “Little Miss Sunshine” – a wonderfully idiosyncratic 2006 Academy Award-winning indie film – has been turned into an ambitious but poorly conceived and poorly received musical by otherwise successful composer William Finn and writer James Lapine. The musical, which lasted just a month Off-Broadway in 2013, lacks the film’s defining melancholic eccentricity, its characters’ brooding deadpan presentation, and its co-directors’ affectionate touch. It their place is a bland, often clunky musical comedy that attempts to translate a road trip to the spatial restrictions of the stage. The issue to be addressed in the current production of “Little Miss Sunshine” is whether director Jonathan Kronenberger, musical director Patrick Wickliffe and their team can resuscitate this musical the way Blank Canvas Theatre did with the similarly mediocre and low-budgeted “Debbie Does Dallas,” “Psycho Beach Party” and “The Texas Chainsaw Musical” under artistic director Patrick Ciamacco’s supervision. The answer is yes, albeit in bits and pieces. For more of this review, go to: www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/bob_abelman/

Berko review: LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE@ Blank Canvas
by Roy Berko 18 May '19

18 May '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: * *CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: “Little Miss Sunshine” is not a great musical script nor does it have a strong score. The show’s farcical nature is a challenge for any cast and director. In spite of a gallant effort, the Blank Canvas production just doesn’t work as well as it could have. * *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Music by Alan Menken Book and Lyrics by Howard Ashman Show Information: A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop Of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and intent towards global domination! Casting Requirements Looking for a cast of 8, ages 16+ for all roles. Seymour Krelborn An insecure, put-upon florist's clerk and eventual hero. He is a genuine, well-meaning man who is taken for granted because of his clumsy ways and poor social skills. Gender: Male Age: 18 to 30 Vocal range:A2-G4 Audrey Bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like, secret love of Seymour's life. She has poor self-worth and education, but incredibly good looks and a sweet and vulnerable demeanor. Gender: Female Age: 18 to 30 Vocal range: G#3-D5 Mr. Mushnik The seasoned owner of the failing East Side flower shop and Seymour's nosy boss. He is profit-driven, greedy, and manipulative. Gender: Male Age: 40 to 65 Vocal range: G2-F4 Orin Scrivello An egotistical dentist with a passion for leather and sadistic tendencies. Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who is targeted by Seymour. This Actor will also serve as the entire ensemble, playing close to 7 other characters of both genders. Gender: Male Age: 18 to 35 Vocal range: G2-G4 Audrey 2 An actor/vocalist located offstage. The voice is that of a conniving, street-smart 'villain.' A funky Rhythm and Blues voice is best. Gender: Male or Female Age: 20 to 50 Vocal range top: G2-G4 Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon Street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, these girls are the only ones who have a grip on reality.
