‘A Walk on the Moon’: Adultery made easy listening (Off Broadway review)
4 / 10
Director Sheryl Kaller creates some beautiful stage tableaux, deploying Tal Yarden’s brightly hued set and projection designs and Robert Wierzel’s lighting to good effect to re-create the magic of the moon landing and the psychedelic swirl of Woodstock. But there’s little that she or the talented Suskauer can to make Pearl a plausible heroine. By the end, we don’t comprehend why this woman embarked on a fling with a stranger, why she regretted it, or how that experience might have changed her, for good or otherwise. Her journey is neither a small step nor a giant leap, but occupies some blank space in between as yet uncharted by NASA.
