Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC Bursts with Spirit & Heart at A.D. Players

Oh, where to begin? This is the kind of show that reminds you that theatre is PLAY. And there’s simply too much genuine playfulness and joy happening over at A.D. Players for you to miss out on it. Whether you’re a diehard fan of THE SOUND OF MUSIC fan or it’s been a while since you indulged in it, I encourage you to make this show a priority during your summer trips to the theatre.

Julia Kay Laskowski and Patti Rabaza are back as Mavis and Myrtle in HUSBAND FIXIN 101. My first experience with the duo of comediennes was with their holiday themed rib-tickler and I simply couldn't wait to see what they had cooked up for HUSBAND FIXIN 101. The performance earned a lot of laughs and kept us entertained, but this show simply isn't as strong as I expected.

They're back!!! Mavis (Julia Kay Laskowski) and Myrtle (Patti Rabaza) are back by popular demand to solve (or possibly make worse) all of your problems in one blowout seminar, HUSBAND FIXIN 101, tackling life's big issues like picking up towels off the bathroom floor, back seat driving, that weird noise he makes when he eats and much, much more.

Starting tomorrow night, Theater LaB Houston is presenting the World Premiere production of HUSBAND FIXIN 101. Julia Kay Laskowski and Patti Rabaza have collaborated on the musical comedy, gifting audiences with a new Country Gravy and Other Obsessions adventure. In anticipation of opening night, I spoke with Patti Rabaza about the upcoming World Premiere.

Italiani alla conquista del mondo: sarebbe stato questo il titolo perfetto per questo articolo. Ogni giorno ci capita di sentire storie di giovani italiani che hanno trovato la loro 'strada' oltralpe o, addirittura, oltreoceano (ambo i lati)... nel mondo del teatro questo fenomeno si vede ad occhio nudo. Tanti sono i performer il cui nome svetta sulle locandine dei piu importanti spettacoli a livello internazionale: Gian Marco Schiaretti ed Emanuele Caserta nella produzione Stage Enterteinment di TARZAN attualmente in scena ad Amburgo, rispettivamente nei ruoli di Tarzan e Terk; Daniela Pobega, che da due anni a questa parte miete consensi nel ruolo di Nala nella produzione spagnola di THE LION KING; Angelo di Figlia che, prima in MAMMA MIA! e ora in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, sta conquistando il pubblico francese; Gabriella Zanchi che tra qualche giorno riprendera il ruolo di Madame de la Grande Bouche - da lei gia interpretato nella versione italiana del musical - nella suddetta produzione parigina di BEAUTY AND THE BEAST... Ad ogni modo, quest'oggi i nostri riflettori sono puntati su un altro giovane performer italiano che - avendo terminato da qualche settimana il suo percorso di studi presso la prestigiosa AMDA di New York - comincia adesso la sua scalata verso la Great White Way. Sto parlando di Eugenio Contenti. Noto in terra nostrana per aver affiancato i piu grandi registi del settore (da Saverio Marconi a Federico Bellone, da Mauro Simone a Christian Ginepro, da Fabrizio Angelini a Claudio Insegno) e per aver calcato le scene in spettacoli come PINOCCHIO (sbarcato gia a New York nel 2010) e ALICE NEL PAESE DELLE MERAVIGLIE, Eugenio si e di recente esibilto al Cafe101 regalando un'esilarante esibizione del brano To Excess del duo Kooman&Dimond - contenuto nel loro ultimo album OUT OF OUR HEADS - di cui vi proponiamo il video.
