...other hand, one thing is very hard to ignore: Alicia Silverstone. No, guys, I'm not talking about her looks. I'm talking about her acting. As Adam's love interest, Eve is supposed to be a cynical woman disillusioned by love. Unfortunately, the only technique Silverstone has mastered is the "whine" of her Cher days. Whether she's sad, mad or emotionless, she whines (or looks like she wants to whine). In trying to appear cynical, Silverstone has refrained from acting. Her hair, done in child-like ringlets, is out of place for her world-weary character...
...realistic instance of time-space confuscation. "Elvis" escorts a dorky librarian to the future, where his mission is to prevent a militaristic presidential candidate from winning and fulfilling his alliance with a disco-dancing tele-evangelist by outlawing rock'n roll. They do so by transforming a stuttering barber-woman into the Cinderella candidate destined for victory. What follows is a synchronic allegory of post-revolutionary American history only thinly disguised as an innovative commentary on gender roles in the 90s. Each character represents an associative metonym in American history, grounded in the contiguity of time and space. Some even...
...dominant gender in a menage-a-trois relies on the subjugation of the third individual. Such an obvious rule is complicated by I Get's three-way freeway between Hal Elujah, Stella Virgin and Brook Werm. Two men, one woman? Three men? One man, two women (assuming that if women in the Hasty Pudding show are men, then men are women)? Stella Virgin (Robert Schlesinger '00) is a dangerously subversive character, a postmodern repetition of the much-parodied "White House intern" figure. Doused in blush and armed with a lolli (ta)pop, Schlesinger's cotton candy-cum-phallus...
...Showgirls. Kick from showcases its espionage plot as a xenophobic triangle, with private eyes Katya Redhanded (Young Lee '99) and Newt Erd on the tail of Eiffel Over (Christian Roulleau '01), a breadbasket wearing, scent-spilling, card-carrying member of the HPT (Hairy Patriarchal Thespians). For the resident woman in red (she's got the real ruby slippers.), Lee does not ooze the carnality of--say--Carmen Sandiego, on whom his character is obviously based...
...happened to be sitting next to a woman who had once danced with the Boston Ballet. She commented that of course she preferred something more classical, but that this was a nice change. She also said that she felt that the choreography made the piece--that with different choreography it would be very easy for such a piece to look simply ridiculous. While I agree that the choreography was effective, and that it played off of the music and lyrics very well, by the end of the piece, it seemed terribly repetitive...
