Review by peanutduck
Lovers Neil Stratman and Audrey Voon implausible: Stratman strains, eyes dead; Voon, a feisty (but undynamic) coquette, wouldn’t sacrifice her throne for him. Fortunately, Tony Lopez’s Hermocrates, comical and heartfelt in his virginal befuddlement, is a grounded, mature presence. Maia Diaz, as lusty Corine, also enjoyable. Orchestra fumbles; trumpet flat.

Wonderful Town
Tin Pan Alley Theatre Co.
July 10 - August 2, 2009
Summary:
Pay attention Portland, for this American musical classic, based on the classic story and film My Sister Eileen has not been seen in this city in decades! The musical tells the tale of two sisters, Ruth and Eileen Sherwood, who move from Ohio to fast-living New York City of 1935.

Review by peanutduck
Nadia’s wristband sums it up: “WTF”; sloppy, soap-operatic chaos. Lacking vision or purpose, both on the page and stage, company meanders, even careens, through 2 ½ hour embarrassingly hackneyed musical. Anyone else repulsed by the (scripted) Sr. Chantelle soul-sister stereotype? Even the generally infectious Blue Monkey energy can’t carry this.

Annie Warbucks
Tin Pan AlleyJuly 13 - August 9, 2008
Review by peanutduck
Be prepared to ignore the lighting, set, projections, terrible acoustics...and Annie. Instead, focus on the gem performers, of which there are a surprising number, from scene-stealing Sandy (Willow), to the Commissioner (Kimball) and Mrs. Kelly (Shaw), to pig-tailed orphan Pepper (Haroldson). Overall, an odd blend of professional and what-were-they-thinking show.
Pippin
Tin Pan AlleyJuly 11 - August 10, 2008
Review by peanutduck
Pippin is easily among the worst musicals conceived. That aside (if possible), costumes titillate, and Shannon’s choreography embodies sex, circus, and twice, wow. Other gems: Juggler (Blair), Catherine (Boccumini), Berthe (Kimball). Pippin (Bond), Leading Player (Boothe) sometimes off-key; direction overplays irony. Tin Pan Alley’s debut is imperfect, but not unpromising.
