...refreshing vocal precision.The attractive set design (Kathleen E. Breeden ’09 and Sally H. Rinehart ’09) included Antiques Roadshow banners, a fancy living room, and a conventionally insipid backstage dressing room. The set for the red, decadent bar scene was especially attractive. With 22 cast members, the larger-than-usual cast for Freshman Musicals was extremely effective. Although some characters had minimal roles, every cameo was well-delivered and provided relief from an otherwise insistently serious plot. The most glaring defect of the production, however, was the awkward relationship between the Agassiz, the orchestra...
...trained with these dance world legends. Unfortunately, while well-constructed, the second act did not quite live up to the hype.The best contribution to Act II was its opener, a restaging of Balanchine’s iconic “Apollo.” Danced in the Friday cast by Adam R.

Just round up a brilliant cast--Michael Redgrave, Margaret Rutherford, Joan Greenwood, Dorothy Tutin and Edith Evans will do fine--and stand back. That's what Anthony Asquith did in the 1952 film: preserved the play's blithe, aphoristic elegance. In the main pairing of lovers, Redgrave's starch ideally suits Greenwood's cello-voiced sense of sexual mischief...
...right. Directed and produced by Cabot House’s Assistant to the Masters Susan Livingston, “West Side Story” runs from April 20 to 29 in the Cabot Junior Common Room. Vocal Director Paul Huberdeau and Orchestra Director Aaron Berkowitz, ably navigate the cast through Bernstein’s difficult score. Written by Arthur Laurent, “West Side Story” updates Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” The division between two rival ethnic gangs, the Puerto Rican-based Sharks and the white Jets become muddled...
