REVIEW: Songs of Mirth & Triumph Sing — Ying Fang at PCMS (for Parterre Box)

Pretty is its own reward, but it has its limits. This recital showed both.

Director Eric Tucker’s production seems like an exercise in “épater la bourgeoisie” smart ass-ness.

I’ve heard starrier performances, but none that made a more powerful case for this masterwork.

Cameron and David consider Lucy Kirkwood’s taut drama that considers how society reacts to a fallout of its own making.

Politics and culture here are ultimately filler, suggesting but not delivering dramatic weight.

Don’t miss this superb show, which returns for a run this December!

The great Amanda Schoonover makes the ordinary extraordinary.

They came, saw, and conquered… and I hope they return soon.

The Berta (mezzo-soprano Emily Damasco) runs away with the show.

Tina Fey’s satire of high school cliquishness ages uncomfortably into the social media era.
