...Radcliffe Pitches: their name gets them into trouble sometimes. The women's a capella version of the Kroks, the Pitches try to be a cross between cabaret singers and Sweet Adelines, with campy results. It's all in fun, and worth it when they sing "In the Mood...
...Santo Loquasto's unit set looks great and functions nicely, the costumes are imaginative and attractive, and the notion of putting both American and German trenches in the orchestra pit clicks, even if the scenes involving the doomed soldiers are mostly awkward and extraneous.

It has performed from San Francisco to Moscow, is composed of Engineering to Slavic majors, has alumni in international opera companies and huge business corporations, and stores a repertoire of liturgical and secular music ranging geographically from Latvia to Macedonia. But the range stops somewhere. According...
