“Director Moshe Henderson utilized the levels within the space very effectively to demonstrate power dynamics, and I loved the bold lighting choices. It felt like Henderson actively incorporated as many storytelling elements as possible in this show, which was helpful, given the audio problems.”

“From June 19 to 23, New Yiddish Rep will present “Crazy Meshuge Hurricane Earthquake” by Amy Coleman, directed by Moshe Henderson, at The Playroom Theater, 151 West 46th Street, 8 fl. This six-character play (portrayed by four actors) is the story of an unlikely connection that develops between a middle aged non-religious Jewish woman and a young Hasidic man struggling with schizophrenia. Hired to be his caretaker, the woman attempts to give him the support he needs, but discovers that her agenda may have more to do with her own needs than his. The play offers important lessons on love and trust.”

“David-Edward Hughes love musicals and has for many years. 17 years ago, among other theatrical activities, he helped found Showtunes! Theatre Company. Their presentations are a model of concert stagings, with minimal sets and costumes, actors using scripts, and maximal singing talent. The opportunity afforded was also to present musicals that may well never be chosen to be fully staged, but still have an opportunity to experience them.”
Sing Out Louise! Theatricals presented “Mack and Mabel” Read More »
“‘Mack & Mabel,’ a lesser known musical by the legendary composer Jerry Herman (‘Hello, Dolly,’ ‘Mame’), was not a hit when it premiered on Broadway in 1974 (starring Robert Preston and Bernadette Peters). It ran for about two months and then closed. It did earn eight Tony Award nominations, but won none and seemed to be destined only for the history books.
Thank goodness it was not forgotten by the folks at the new theater company Sing Out Louise!, who are currently offering a delightful concert staging of the musical at SecondStory Repertory in Redmond.”
