Allen’s junior full-length record chronicles a night of an insomniac narrator and was inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story “Sleep and Waking” originally penned in 1934. The two multi-movement works presented on the album, which features Broadway Star Jeanna de Waal as “Voice” (Sweeney Todd, Diana: The Musical), Cree Carrico as “Soprano”, and the acclaimed Argus Quartet conducted by Allen originally premiered in 2022 at Carnegie Hall.

Review: SISTER ACT at Taproot Theatre
by Jay Irwin
- Jul 14, 2024
Dear Readers, the musical version of the hit 1992, Whoopi Goldberg comedy “Sister Act” has never been one of my favorites. On paper it should work with an Alan Menken score and fabulous source material were it not for those lackluster Glenn Slater lyrics. He writes passable songs but nothing that truly grabs you. But it’s a big, flashy musical with nuns rocking out so it isn’t all bad. But I must emphasize “big”, which is why the choice to put this up on Taproot Theatre’s quite cozy space baffled me. However, director Bretteney Beverly managed it. Sure, there were some downfalls, but overall, she managed it.

Something we knew we always wanted, but unexpected is how much we would need a show like this. Who’d of thought, Rocky Horror in July? If ever there was a truer testament to the old saying, “If you build it, they will come...,” then that would be none other than Jobsite and their production of Richard O’Brien’s titillating cult behemoth The Rocky Horror Show.
Oh What A Night! My Eyes Adore JERSEY BOYS at Toby's in Columbia

Toby's in Columbia presents the ‘origin story’ of New Jersey natives who became The Four Seasons. The script of JERSEY BOYS is tight, the pace rapid: this script and these songs - the Four Seasons’ catalog, plus others- form a stellar example of a really GOOD jukebox musical. I recommend you go immediately to see this terrific show.
