Every character is distinct, clear, and 3-dimensional, in that you have no doubt she knows each and every one of those people through and through, regardless of how much, or how little, we are shown of them. It's a cute piece, well worth your time and ticket price.

A Docu-musical? What is a Docu-musical?…read moreJust the title of this performance made me want to go see this. Surprisingly it was very entertaining and very funny. The one man play (two man if you count Steve) is a documentation of of Colin Summer's collaboration and interaction with Steve from Australia. Colin business at that time was an online service to translate client's poems to music; so this is where the musical portion came from. Colin present his collaboration and the many music he had created with Steve. The play is funny and the music is great. The play will end very soon so go now. The theater is open seating so get there on time to grab the front seats!

Steve, the lyricist, and Colin, the musician, has co-written hundreds of songs together. It's a story that tells a tale of how music, the Internet and computers brought these lives together in the modern world. Colin and Steve live on opposite ends of the Earth. Colin lives in the NE US and Steve in Australia. Colin had a partner, Andrew, who helped him co-produce the music. Colin and Andrew first worked with Steve when Steve found poetrytomusic.com and hired the musical team to score his lyrics. I laughed, sang, and really enjoyed this "docu-musical" so much. This one-man narrative story is written by and told to the audience by Colin Summers. I felt Colin was a very likable, charming young fellow that has a gift for music and telling stories as well. Colin not one time makes fun of Steve. I got to understand from Colin how genuinely interested he is in who Steve is. I was half hoping for Steve to pop out to say hi to the audience! This show is utterly charming. The play will stop playing at The 4th Street Theatre August 22, 2015. I highly recommend this Off-Broadway production. Tickets are inexpensive $16 in advance and $20 at the door. I watch a lot of plays in general and Steve: A Docu-Musical has been my favorite play, as of recently. This play really warmed my heart.

I doesn't matter what age you are, she is so encouraging and supportive that you will be amazed at what you are capable of. I recommend this for anyone, and many of her students are well beyond their 40s ( I met her 20 years ago, and wouldn't have ever stopped if I hadn't left NY). Once in a while I get that treasured experience of being able to go back, and she's always thrilled to see me. She also does a body conditioning class, and it's unbelievable!

The theater is comfortable, beautifully renovated, and intimate (although the acoustics can be tricky if you do auditions there! It's rather dead.). Performances generally are solid, production values are good, and all in all, they usually do a nice job with whatever opera they are producing, and they choose some interesting pieces here and there. Ticket prices have gone up quite a bit over the years -- tickets for the operas will set you back $55 (vs. Met weekend prices: Front Family Circle: $42; Balcony is $80 -- sure you are up high, but it's the MET!). The last opera I attended had a ticket price of $35 .... and I considered that high, as I could go to the Met for less. Still can, obviously.....
