Review of "Camelot" at Mercury Theatre Company
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 18 Jul '15

18 Jul '15

Mercury’s ‘Camelot’ offers too few brief shining moments Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics Sometimes classic musicals come across as museum pieces. It’s as if the designation “classic” automatically places these works behind purple ropes so they are off-limits to creative interpretation. Only reverence can be rendered and fresh formaldehyde administered when productions of these musicals – reproductions, really – are dusted off and put on public display. “Camelot” is one of those musicals. Based on the King Arthur legend as interpreted in T.H. White’s novel “The Once and Future King,” the show revolves around the love triangle between King Arthur, Guenevere and Sir Lancelot and their enlightened vision of a world where “violence is not strength and compassion is not weakness.” The 1960 Broadway musical featured theater royalty in the leading roles, including Richard Burton as Arthur, Julie Andrews as Guenevere, and Robert Goulet as Lancelot. The story is beautifully conveyed through Alan Jay Learner’s magnificent lyrics and Frederick Loewe’s memorable music. These two were also considered musical theater royalty, having just come off of the remarkable success of “My Fair Lady” – another classic that demands due diligence when given a modern-day staging. In addition to its lineage, the aversion to altering “Camelot” is tied to its linkage to the Kennedy administration, which took place shortly after the show’s opening. The administration’s ideals, youthful leadership and tragic ending are forever associated with the final words in the show’s final song: “Don’t let it be forgot/that once there was a spot/for one brief shining moment/that was known as Camelot.” Mess with the musical and, according to traditionalists, you mess with the nation’s collective and highly romanticized memories. And yet Mercury Theatre Company Director/Choreographer Pierre-Jacques Brault and Music Director Eddie Carney dared to do so. Their current production is a labor of love that respects the original work but hopes that a dramatic simplification in its staging will strip away the thick and cloudy veneer that has built up over generations of veneration.

LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: KSU Porthouse Theatre's 'Violet' is One Road Trip Definitely Worth Taking This Summer
by Cleve Land via NEohioPAL 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

*LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: * KSU Porthouse Theatre's * 'Violet'* is One Road Trip Definitely Worth Taking This Summer In the musical *Violet, *the title character sets off on a Greyhound bus to find her miracle at the hands of a healing evangelist (Paul Floriano), and ends up discovering friendship, romance and ultimately love instead. Stirring music by Jeanine Tesori and insightful lyrics and book by Brian Crawley -- based on the short story "The Ugliest Pilgrim" by Doris Betts -- allow Violet (and *Violet*) to tell her story without pathos or pity. The material is handled with care by director Steven C. Anderson. Under his guidance, viewers feel as if they are taking the trip right alongside Violet, practically as if they were seat mates. Anderson has also picked the perfect travel buddies for this emotional ride, an ensemble of powerful actors with equally powerful voices. Fritsche is completely compelling as the older Violet, asserting her independence every step of the way along her journey. Cosentino is captivating as young Violet, joyful and hopeful and full of life. As the preacher, Floriano brings a perfect mix of showmanship and sensitivity to the role. Dane Castle also makes a lasting impression as the girl's gregarious but guilt-ridden father. Jared Dixon and Ian Benjamin hit all the comic and serious notes as a pair of soldiers vying for Violet's affections. The rest of the company -- Allisyn Just, Shamara Costa, Katey Sheehan, Lindsay Simon, Jimmy Ferko, and Julian Kazenas -- portray a variety of vivid characters with admirable fervor... *READ THE FULL REVIEW AT:* *http://inthelandofcleve.blogspot.com/2015/07/cleve-review-ksu-porthouse-theatres.html <http://inthelandofcleve.blogspot.com/2015/07/cleve-review-ksu-porthouse-the…>*
