Boogie on the Bones shines a light on a rather unknown slice of history. Styled as a lecture, it’s very educational and has a noble aim. It is, however, a weak piece of musical theatre. Though it’s an anthem to liberation and individuality, it’s predictable and formulaic. The setup is too brief, the love stories are rushed, there’s no dramatic tension whatsoever, and the emotional journey is lacking.

I had the privilege to chat with Richard Gibson, who leads Valley Opera as the Founder, President, and General Director. Richard led me through the history and exciting journey of Valley Opera to where they are now as an organization. He gave me a bird's eye view of the fantastic projects that the company is preparing for their upcoming season.

The year is 1905.  The place is New York City. The play is Lynn Nottage’s intimate and surprisingly affective comedy/drama “Intimate Apparel.” “Intimate Apparel” tells a tale drawn from Nottage’s own passed down ancestry stories and perhaps a little imagined history.  The inspiration is a sepia toned photo of a seamstress from the turn of the twentieth-century. The lights come up on Esther Mills (Chioma Anyanwu), a thirty-six-year-old gifted seamstress, who has carved out a niche business for herself designing and creating intimate apparel for a widely diverse customer base.  Esther’s customers represent both the upper crust of New York’s society, the 400, and others who populate the raunchy Tenderloin district and whose less public clientele are the bored husbands of society’s 400.
