Avant-Garde Variety Show loosely based on a murder mystery theme. More variety show than murder mystery. High points are the magician, a heartfelt reading of liberal/lesbian poetry, and a wise-cracking 70+ year old lady MC. Good 4-pc band. Talented cast, though mostly not my cup of tea. Collapse

This is a wonderful production and you can't beat the intimacy of Gloucester Stage. While there are lots of funny moments - be prepared to shed a few tears. We ran into terrible traffic so ordered our lobster rolls (from Lobsta Land) from the car. Picked them up and then ate outdoors on Rocky Neck, and strolled to the theater. A lovely night! Collapse

Trouble in Tahiti is a rave! The only drawback is the sound system at the Tsai. It doesn't capture the full range of the singers' voices.

Wonderful to see a full-blown production of "Trouble..." It's done periodically by amateur and college groups, usually with a piano and minimal sets, so it's really a treat to have it fully realized. The lyrics are sometimes a little clumsy (he needed Sondheim!) but the music is charming, and one can hear presages of Candide and West Side Story all through. The cast was wonderful, the choreography was a riot. Bernstein would have been very pleased. Judy Kaye is perfect as Julia Child. The opera is delightful--since Julia was always "singing" anyway, it just felt like a "French Chef" show with orchestral accompaniment. As the Globe said, a great way to bring new audiences to 20th-century opera. Collapse

Both operettas were fantastic. Trouble in Tahiti was powerful and fun at the same time. The singing was amazing. Then there was a special dessert at intermission (chocolate cupcakes to whet our appetites for the second act). The second operetta was great too, much lighter and very funny. How the singer cooked while singing is an enigma, but she did and masterfully. Highly recommend these shows. Collapse

I loved the show. The relationship between Patsy and Louise was the perfect vehicle to tell a story that highlights Cline's music. The music was excellent and the play was packed with it.

This is such a unique and powerful show. Be prepared to see some alien creatures you haven't seen before in large, elegant format. Simply breathtaking.

Sam Jaffe's photographs are beautiful. His compositions of Massachusetts Caterpillars along with their host plants are striking and elegant and can stand alone as works of art. The compositions are all set against a black background and are printed in a large format. The images reveal to us a diverse population of creatures to be found right here in Massachusetts, that we rarely observe . They are beautiful in their detail and ingenious in their evolutionary development. Sam's macro photography never disguises the subject matter but reveals its complexity to be admired. Each photograph is accompanied by a brief biological description which is well worth reading, and if you are fortunate to find the artist on site you will learn much more! Collapse
