What it’s about: You name it, it happens, as confusion triumphs in this classic farce that unfolds at the Lovers’ Landing Beach Hotel on the Gulf Coast. Written by: Michael Parker and Susan Parker directed by Marti Baker presented by Barnstable Comedy Club Sundays through May 22 at the Gertrude Lawrence Stage at Dennis Union Church, 713 Main St., Dennis. The musical effectively delivers the lesson that “no one is alone,” and collective action may in fact be the magic ticket out of the woods. One more thing: As characters come to see the unhappy consequences of their individual pursuits, they’re inspired to come together to save each other and their community. The childless baker and his wife want a family, but must tangle with a gnarly witch with an agenda of her own. Jack sets out to sell the family cow and ends up with a handful of beans. Cinderella just wants to attend the ball, but her prince may turn out to be a bit less than charming. Worth noting: The show begins and ends with “I wish,” but wishes fulfilled come with unexpected twists.
Unlike many shows in which musical numbers provide diversion and simple entertainment, here the song lyrics blend with spoken lines to form the actual narrative, as characters tell their stories of fidelity, revenge, love and quest. Interesting fact: The original 1987 Broadway production earned Tony Awards for best original score and outstanding lyrics. Greg Hamm designed the lighting, executed by Vickie Marchant, with Toby Wilson and Jackett behind the sound design. Exceptional lighting and special effects stand out for their flawless and precise delivery, inventiveness and just plain beauty. Highlights: Sets (by designer and technical director Guy Trudeau) and costumes (by Brian Simons and Cindy Parker) earn top star billing alongside the performers. Every single performer on the stage is a stand-out, with the lead roles played by Steve Ross (narrator, Mysterious Man), Madison Mayer (Cinderella) Jake Venet (Jack), Anthony Teixeira (the Baker), Holly Hansen (The Baker's Wife), Rebecca Riley (Little Red Ridinghood) Sara Bleything (The Witch), Hope O’Conor (Rapunzel) and Beau Jackett and Alex Valentine as the princes. See it or not: Wresinski’s stunning, high-energy production has captured Cape Cod’s top performing talents under one roof in a marvelous ensemble, as characters set out to fulfill a wish, break a curse or secure riches. What it’s about: This musical fantasy focuses on some of the fairy tales that involve the classic search for happily-ever-after, a theme that evolves instead into the cautionary “Be careful what you wish for.” The depth and wit of Sondheim’s extraordinary musical legacy are perfectly captured here, combining the adventures of iconic characters from the Brothers Grimm as they journey into the woods on their personal quests, only to learn that their choices have dark consequences, and some cannot be undone. Probably gonna get thumbs down for this take but I don’t care.Written by: Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics) and James Lapine (book) directed by Donna Wresinski with musical direction by Pam Wannie performed by Eventide Theatre Company I can see myself either never becoming a fan of his or having to wait until his 3rd or 4th album to finally see myself admitting that’s he’s just decent. Haven’t heard the album yet, but I know after listening to it, it ain’t gonna make me a fan.
First Class is such a bs friendly pop song that isn’t worth being celebrated as much as it is.
#TWISTED INSANE SONGS MAC#
Mac was such a respectable artist that had great personality and put out quality music whereas Jack Harlow just puts out low quality Drake music that’s worse than Tory Lanez, yeah I said it. Hate to be that guy to compare the two, but whenever I see his name constantly get brought up it just makes me miss Mac Miller so much. After hearing Louie Bags, I find it laughable that people set expectations of him possibly having the breakout feature and stealing the show on Ye’s album like Fivio did on Donda and Ross/Nicki did on Twisted Fantasy. I feel like a lot of his buzz comes from him being hella active and interactive on social media that leads to people making tik toks w/ his music and for also having a beard. What’s Poppin was a cute single and his feature on Industry Baby was cool but other than that I just find him really overrated. He hasn’t proven to me music wise yet that he has the longevity of being one of the bigger artists in the rap game for the next 5-10 years. I just don’t see the hype/buy him as the future.
