  • In Review: 'The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess'
    About Us Arts Style Culture Music Film What’s What LOL/OMG Partners FRIDAY, MARCH 28TH In Review: ‘The Gershwins’ Porgy GET THE GOSSIP! And Bess’ by Todd O'Dowd The Gershwin’s Porgy And Bess: The Broadway Musical might be a mouthful to say, but can easily summed up in three words; it’s a hit! Before I get into all of the details about my somewhat conflicted feelings about this production, (which is playing now till Sunday, March 30 at The Ordway in St. Paul). I’m going to cut to the chase: Get to The Ordway now and see this show! If this is your first time seeing this piece, you will be in great hands thanks to a lovely cast and a great staging. More to the point it’s a great introduction to one of the most canonical works in American Musical Theatre and American Opera. In fact I will go one step further; I hope young people see this production and are inspired by it to go into theater and/or opera. It’s that vital of a production. Okay, now that I’ve gotten the important part out of the way, I’ll highlight the big issue that a lot of people (including to a small degree, myself) have had with it. If you can accept the fact that this is an opera that has been adapted for the conventions of musical theater and for voices more at ease on a Broadway stage than an opera house, then you’re going to be just fine.
