I'm always preaching to support local theater. Here's a reason why - just a really nice afternoon spent listening to Stephen Sondheim tunes from his various Broadway Shows. Onstage Bedford did a nice, thoughtful production. This is the last weekend to see it. Four of the five vocalists were quite decent. One young woman was a tad "pitchy" but that's being nit-picking. She gave it her all, as did the others in the show.
I found that hearing the Sondheim tunes in independent scenes, rather than in his complete shows, I really heard the words and had some different interpretations. Maybe a tad deeper. His music is "tough" in my opinion. You don't come out humming like a Rogers & Hammerstein musical. Sondheim is darker - explores a lot of the human psyche.
Good show, no seat has a bad view, worthy sound, and worth my twenty dollars!
Check out local talent in your area. These folks are working hard for your entertainment
