Huh. Agree with most of it except for Claybourne and te transitioning and emotional aspect of it. Might've been first show jitters though! Definitely seeing this again soon.
Agree 100% with the MD Theatre Guide review about Elder:
"Claybourne Elder gives an appropriately restrained performance as George. It is a tricky balance between portraying an artist that is cold towards other people while remaining emotional enough to keep the character interesting. It may appear to some that he is under-acting, but for me, I believe it is more accurate to the role if we understand that George puts all his emotion into his paintings and not into people. As far as his singing is concerned, it is more than adequate, despite a few pitch issues at the performance I attended."
Thanks for telling us when the reviews were up! I keep forgetting about that website.
^It is! I'm obsessed with the theatre and the surroundings. Cutest little town. Here's a photo I took of outside the theater while I was there for SITPWG.
Another rave from Alexandria Times/Whisk and Quill, DramaUrge, and the Baltimore Sun. Every review has been a rave. Come to Arlington and see it! Check all the reviews in one place-in Other Reviews on DCMetroTheaterArts.
