"That
this revival at Wilmington's Playhouse of the 1989 Tim Rice-Benny
Andersson-Bjorn Ulvaeus creation holds an audience's attention
s well as it does is a tribute to director Bill Castellino
focusing on the love story, and to the powerful performances
and singing voices of stars Brad Drummer, Philip Hernandez,
and most particularly, Kim Lindsay."
"Lindsay's
big, pop voice makes the show hers when she sings 'Someone
Else's Story,' 'I Know Him So Well,' (a moving duet with
Kristi Carnahan), 'Nobody's Side,' and 'Heaven Help My Heart.'"
"The
performance is boffo… Kim Lindsay can belt out a rock
score when needed but also lyricize it. And Philip Hernandez's
warm, rich baritone is well suited to the role of Anatoly.
Their strength is their subtlety, particularly in the tenuous
final embrace of the parting scene." |
