...Uncle From Boston has been lost, but it is always refreshing to discover and hear a composer's lesser known works, much like finding more sonnets by Shakespeare or short stories by Hemingway. The beginning of the Capriccio Brillant, Op. 22, was more lovely than brilliant. Short and sweet, it was one of Mendelssohn's three single movement pieces for piano and orchestra...
...Brittany Kissinger is in her second season as Annie, and has a remarkable command of the stage for her years. Kissinger's knobby knees, shaggy bowl cut and slightly crooked teeth make her a refreshingly sincere Annie, with just enough natural charm to make her lovable but not sticky-sweet. It is with this ease that she launchs into "Tomorrow," beginning the song in a conversational tone that briefly masks her vocal power. After the first bars, Kissinger's voice becomes stronger until her clear voice fills the auditorium completely. This is arguably the best song of the show...
...sweet, happy-go-lucky classic "Send Me OnMy Way" came later in the show, also after aseries of new songs, and got almost as hearty areception as "Martyr." In fact, everyone waschiming in so loudly and in-tune that Glabickisimply stopped singing, kept playing his guitar,and held the mic out to the audience. Overjoyed,the entire crowd at the Paradise sang the wholefirst verse and chorus, and continued backing theband up even after Glabicki and company joined inagain...
...funny, but eventually become just gross. Amazingly, Bates and Sandler manage to keep the unoriginal material quite hilarious; but even Sandler's comedic appeal cannot sustain the mindless Foxworthy humor. Fortunately, he does get some help from Fairuza Balk as Bobby's horny, buck-toothed and violent, but nonetheless sweet, ex-convict girlfriend. She demonstrates her love for Bobby by redesigning his riding lawnmower into a high-speed vehicle, romantically stealing Lawrence Taylor's Corvette and seductively gnawing on barbecued squirrel...
...character that capturesyour sympathy and your laughter. The plot is weakand often hackneyed, but Sandler's hilariousphysical comedy is reminiscent of the great JerryLewis. So go see The Waterboy if youcackled wildly at the immature, adolescent humorof Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore,but not if you desire the cozy, sweet, romanticcomedy of The Wedding Singer. Maybe"Canteen Boy" doesn't have a sensitive side afterall
