The rap concert of the fall has finally arrived.
After all the summer hooplah about 2 Live Cre

Tonight, it's Hammer, time.
MTV Music Video Award winner and Gramm
winner M. C. Hammer has already fostered three c

Review :

ar
By H. 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

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.
