Installation

 

February 11, 2023

To the Magnetic last night to see their new musical offering Wit of direction and exuberance of performance almost negated the fact that it was brainless, an amiable stupidity rolling along from one foreseeable moment to the next, each song exactly like the one before, each moment snatched from a sit-com or one of those sweaty musicals tried out in West Village attics and never heard from again. Which is not to say I didn’t enjoy it. I did, but what I enjoyed was the effort of the actors, which is what must be appreciated in the moment. The genesis of the show is interesting. The band got together and suggested they could do a musical, and the theater urged them forward. Good idea regardless of outcome. 

Sang for S’s installation as third Dean. Mendelssohn. More clergy milling about than any one location needs. 

CT, my bass neighbor in Symphony Chorus, fights for his life after a severe car crash.You turn back and examine all that happened the last time you sat together, to see if there was any sign, any premonition.
