Director Celia Couture has created a wonderful evening with A...MY NAME IS ALICE, an empowering look at women.
The evening is off to a great start with the clever, colorful set that is as youthful as it is mature. The incredible ensemble of eight takes us through every step of a woman's life with vignettes both serious and hilarious and musical numbers that segue in and out of each other with ease and grace.
All of the songs are important statements of self-awareness, and musical director Art Finstein allows the talented chanteuses to deliver their messages with subtle charm. The band of musicians is rock solid.
Dance Captain Kelly Murphy has established fun, innovative movements that are impressively liberating in a black box.
The lone source of testosterone, David Kimmelman, blends in with this female counterparts. He provides perfect male images for them to work with.
This revue will make you laugh, and it will make you think. It might make you cry, and it might make you reflect.
It should also make you realize that "A" is for "appreciation."
