Review: SOME LIKE IT HOT SIZZLES ON TOUR at Providence Performing Arts Center
“This is a short run, and it’s absolutely worth making time for. Call your musical-loving friends, rearrange your calendar, and grab tickets before this train leaves the station. Some Like It Hot is big fun, gorgeously staged, and not to be missed.”
Review: National Tour of 'COMPANY' at Providence Performing Arts Center
Like all of Sondheim's shows, the score is gorgeous, intricate, and challenging, and this touring cast does a tremendous job. Britney Coleman's Bobbie is charming and expressive as she enacts some of the most recognizable standards of musical theatre ('Marry Me a Little,' 'Side by Side by Side,' 'Being Alive') with rich, powerful vocal styling. Other standout numbers are the darkly ironic 'Ladies Who Lunch,' vividly performed by Judy McLane, and, of course, the impossibly staccato patter of 'Getting Married Today,' delivered in a flawless, astounding performance by Matt Rodin as Jamie (supported by fiancé Paul and Marina Kondo's hilarious apparating priest.)
