Watched “The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes.” A regular guy’s life turns into a musical (aka my-dream-come-true). Incredible talent and set but plot was kinda lacking.
Watched the Little Shop of Horrors musical. The main characters were uniquely portrayed by puppets (like in Avenue Q). Sadly, the urchin ensemble desperately lacked its characteristic soul music quality.
Last performance of the play “Native Gardens.” Immigrant & WASP neighbors clash over world views & property borders. Great lawyerly argument/debate dialogue. But the conflict was wrapped up too neatly in the end.
Watched The Good Woman of Setzuan play. It’s hard to be good. Also love is blind, irrational, and reckless! And I wasn’t a fan of the occasional rudimentary puppetry.
