But seriously...I honestly don’t blame you for feeling the way you do.
Nana and I have had this discussion 3 times this week alone. A local dance studio ran an ad for their next production, and we were floored. It looked to be a cross between Twilight and Damn Yankees...spooky!
Vampires playing the World Series? That is Hugh and Series.
I notice that for some producers, the magic of the music is not enough. They have louse it up with weird juxtapositions and anachronisms.
Like a production of “Carmen” I saw with weird futurist Fascist uniforms on the soldiers, and and strange industrial chain like stage sets. Beautiful music, ugly staging.
