Sarah on theater

What I'm seeing lately!

A classic musical comedy about two sisters from Ohio who move to Greenwich Village in the 1930s to pursue their dreams.


★★ ★★★

There’s this really great instrumental sequence about 20 minutes in where they use tap-dancing straphangers and strobe lights to stage riding the subway. That’s more or less the high point. Singing’s great, dancing’s great, Bernstein’s score rips, but they can’t salvage a profoundly mind-numbing book
