It never ceases to amaze me how prolific and creative the theatrical community is here in Connecticut. With 80 + theatrical companies (at my last count) in the state, you don't have to go far to take in some amazing theatre. From professional, equity houses to community theatres, the variety, and unique offerings from each company is truly amazing. And speaking of unique offerings, I had the pleasure of attending my first performance at The Arts at Angeloria's in Southington for their production of Larry Gelbart, Cy Coleman, and David Zippel's musical CITY OF ANGELS, which also served as the premiere production in their new 100-seat "Art Barn." For those familiar with the musical, you will know that this is not an easy show to mount, especially in a smaller theatrical space. But for the company who performed THE WHO'S TOMMY in their small 50-seat black box space, if anyone was up to it, they were. As for CITY OF ANGELS? It is a valiant attempt with some high points that mostly overshadow any challenges that come from the limitations of the space.
Today, Juan Wauters shares his new video and interpretation of ' El Hombre de la Calle'.Juan explains, 'the song is originally by Jaime Roos, one of the most popular Uruguayan musicians from the past 50 years. I recorded my version of the song because it became a favorite among the audience at my concerts.' Juan and director Matthew Volz - both of whom greatly admire Roos - wanted to deliver a video and visual that did right by the legend. Volz curiously captures Wauters wondering through the main lobby of NYC's Grand Central station, depicting different characters of your everyday man on the street. Catch the debut over at FLOOD here.
