I usually choose not to review workshop productions, but, in regard to Deborah Johnson's Tsarina, breaking the rule proved worthwhile. The show has such great potential. It's incredible to think that other composers have not seized the opportunity to write a musical play about this most vibrant time frame of Russian history culminating in the Bolshevik revolution and in 1917 the downfall of Nicholas (Patrick Dillon Curry) and Alexandra (Kelly Derouin), the last czars in Russia.
DJWorks Music and The Grove Theatre announce the World Premiere of TSARINA, opening September 16th at 7:29 pm. In TSARINA, which might be described as 'LES MIS MEETS DR. ZHIVAGO', the love of Nicholas and Alexandra endures in the face of political intrigue, jealousy, greed and revolution.
'Gimme, gimme now!' perfectly describes Stiltz!, a comic musical fable showing the negativity of greed, power and fame. Though flawed the show has some terrific tunes from Deborah Johnson and a fine cast under Wayland Pickard and Doug Engalla's steadily fast-paced direction.
STILTZ! The Musical with music and lyrics by Deborah Johnson, book and additional lyrics by Paula Miller, will have its World Premiere on September 24 through October 17, 2010. The musical plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm, and Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm, at the Actors Forum Theatre in NoHo.
