flashback: september 8, 2005

[image to come later, i hope; probably the cover of the playbill]

shakespeare in the park.

two gentlemen of verona, a musical production.

i needed to get it tickets then, the production would finish that weekend. (as per last flashback, i was in china during must of the summer). it was raining heavily all morning. but, i knew in the evening it would clear up. so during my lunch break i took a train down to the public theatre to pickup tickets.

what i learned that evening was rosario dawson can't sing and can barely act. dawson plays mimi in the movie rent later that year, i still have yet to see it because of her performance at the park.

the production was up to par though.

last year i was blown away by the public's production of hair. two gentlemen of verona and it share the same composer(?). hair still plays on broadway.

two weeks ago went to the production the bacchae. an old greek play with a musical greek chorus. that wasn't up to par.
