...orchestra also impresses, notably flaunting the student talent of the Boston Conservatory. Without missing a beat, the music infuses the performance with richness and vim, as the orchestra propels the production forward. The overture, for example, begins the show with the pit’s own “solo,” allowing smooth, instrumental sounds to set the atmosphere of the Old South. Nevertheless, some elements, including Anna B. Labykina’s set design, do disappoint. For a musical fundamentally concerned with theatricality, the physical elements of the set fail to convincingly convey the boat?...
...really sure why there's a gorilla, but I'm also not really sure that it matters. What does matter is the fact that Katie Couric (a.k.a. "Shorty") performs a touching solo about the fragility of our planet's ecosystem. Watch out, Bono, there's another socially conscious musician out there, and she wants to save the polar...

With one out, sophomore Ellen Macadam launched a ball over the left-field fence for a three-run homer.Francis followed with a solo shot to turn the Crimson’s 2-1 deficit into a 6-2 lead. “We were hitting the ball, and when we weren’t hitting, we weren’t getting frustrated,” Brown said. “The batters were...
...With crisp, brief, repeated verses and a twin-falsetto chorus—“crazy, crazy, naked girls”—it is a perfect piece of fuzz pop that is implanted in the consciousness at the first listen, before a distortion-heavy guitar solo transposes the song into the genre of drugged-out epic. At over six minutes, “Crazy Naked Girls” is a demanding song, but the listener is easily hooked from the start.The finest moments of this majestic album are its effervescent pop songs. Perhaps the best song...
