| Saw BANDSTAND last night. I absolutely loved it. The choreography is spectacular. I'm not just talking about the big production numbers. Yes, they're great - but it's all the smaller choreographed movement that adds so much to the piece. BANDSTAND examines the personal toll a war takes on families and individuals. The depiction of PTSD in its various forms is honest and moving. Then there's Laura Osnes and Corey Cott who are both giving truly dynamic performances. Corey is exceptionally endearing as a troubled soldier trying to heal as is Laura as a young widow whose husband didn't make it home. Both of them blow the roof off the theater with their voices. Laura's 11 o'clock number WELCOME HOME is very, very special - an emotional and vocal powerhouse. I also loved Beth Leavel in the smallish role of Laura's mother. Leavel shows us that there are no small parts and makes this role memorable. She's a true pro, and I'll see her in anything. I do hope this show finds its audience. I highly recommend it and hope to see it again. |
