The Arden Theatre, located
at 40 N. 2nd Street, is producing Tulipomania: The Musical through July 1. The orchestra is effectively seated on a deck
making a slight overhang above the rear of
the stage. Some of the best work in the
show can be attributed to Scenic Designer James Kronzer and Sound Designer Jorge Cousineau. The plot of Tulipomania, although drawn from an actual tulip bulb craze which
consumed the Netherlands in 1634, is a bit too thin to support a musical, even a
one-act one. The songs, while a bit
contrived, do serve to move the story along. Solos by Alex Keiper as the young
Woman and Joilet F Harris as Woman are strong. The dance routine by Adam Heller
as Man is well executed. The actors perform well while taking on multiple roles. For tickets or further information call
