After all the summer hooplah about 2 Live Cre and the subsequent, obnoxious banning of all ra concerts at the coliseum, it would seem fitting I bring the top-selling rapper in the nation to the col seum to celebrate the return of rap.

H. CABANISS ti< Staff Writer ac One of the biggest traps a director faces in a grand musical is los- ^ ing the forest for the trees. Emmalee Robbins's production of ^ Singin' In The Rain, now playing . at the Town Theatre, lacked the ^ preparation to avoid that trap. With some 18 songs, 19 scenes and 38 performers, admittedly ^ Robbins had a lot of trees to keep ^ her busy. But perhaps she should have spent more time with the competent Comden and Green w. script rather than dismissing it be- g0 cause, in doing so, she managed to pa slight the most important aspect of jQ the show: it is a love story. Lc For example, in the evening sp, Hollywood Boulevard encounter pj{ between Don Lockwood and ch Kathy Selden, the audience really Qf needs to see Kathy's struggle be- hij tween her desire for Don and her vi, need to protect herself. Otherwise, q the audience does not learn that ^ despite all she says, Kathy is fall- "q ing in love with Don. To sail pe throueh the scene without address - --O-- ng ing this point is a disservice to the scene and also kills the comedy when she confesses her adoration du later in the show. tec The scenes prior to "Beautiful Br Girls" and "You Were Meant For rec Me" suffer from similar problems, dii Later in the second act when Don m< faces Lina Lamont's demand to op have Kathy speak for her in all her sp< movies, Don doesn't bat an eye. If the director's choice was for Don to have already conceived the sav- m ing plan, it was an ineffective and f? inactive choice. If not, there seems re to be a lack of detail altogether. stl Are you interested in Art, Ficl Graphics, or just want to meet Then come join P0BTF01 Located at Russell Ho Sot To See It To Believe I' ID10M !

Is to focus love story Song and dance is basically a )nventional theatrical device, in at in the normal course of a day ne rarely finds one's neighbor arsting into song extemporajously (although Steve Bochco id the cast of Cop Rock might isagree). But in a musical, song id dance must come from the ac Dn of the play and help the charters express themselves. In a theatrical environment here time is often a luxury, it is lportant to help those characters id out why they sing and dance ;fore addressing what they dance, therwise, as is the case here, the idience does not have enough insted in the story to be brought to ; heights that great musical numrs can take them to. All of this is not to say the show is altogether lacking in style or od performances. Richard and m Bailey gave capable and enyable performances as Don ckwood and Kathy Selden, reectively. Pam Bailey has a very jasant and relaxed voice, and Riard Bailey took firm command the cast and kept the energy *h throughout the evening. Dai Dreiman was very funny as ismo Brown. Noting the above, should not be surprising I found rood Morning", with all three rformers mentioned, the high;ht of the show. Another list of stars of this proction includes John Young, the ;hnical director, and Mary Beth ax, whose scene design worked illy well in a very cramped and fficult space. Rip Russell, whose 3vie sequences impressed the ening night audience, deserves ecial mention. With work, a lot of the details issing opening night may well be und. Until then, it is difficult to commend this show at its $10 Lidents ticket price. tion, Poetry, Non-fiction, some interesting people? 10 MAGAZINE staff. use Room 317 H! < 'E JR D p.m. E ?s. J IP
