Howard Miller takes a look at Days of Wine and Roses at Atlantic Theater Company:
A dream of "sammen i himmelen" (together in heaven) turns into "sammen i helvete" (together in hell) for two alcoholics who bring out the best and the worst in each other in Days of Wine and Roses, opening tonight at the Atlantic Theater Company's Linda Gross Theater. It is a sobering tale, to be sure, but for audiences at least, it is a heavenly opportunity to bask in a new score by Adam Guettel as performed by the golden-throated tenor Brian D'Arcy James and the sublime soprano Kelli O'Hara. |
