Hurry! There is only one more week to catch the musical
journey of women through the 20th century, written and developed by
Dorothy Marcic. RESPECT is a celebration
of women through their good times and bad, their success and their devastation. While April Woodall acts as the narrator, the show begins with Marissa Barnathan,
Lindsay Roberts and Lauren Rooney lamenting lost loves with such melodies as I Fall to Pieces and Johnny Angel. What
follows is a simply delightful 2 hours jam-packed with Top 40 songs sung solo,
in duets, by three women or.by four. No matter who is singing a particular song,
the total effect is exhilarating. The band is seated on the stage and is comprised
of Jack Daniels as Music Director and on keyboard, Adam Bailey on drums, Larry
Cohen on bass and Jake Hager on guitar. Pardon the pun, but they are certainly
instrumental in giving this show its pizazz. It is impossible to sit still in your seat while
listening to the performance. (People seated behind me were singing along).
From basic black to glitz, the production shows how women have come a long way
in gaining self-respect as well as respect at home and in the business world. This
musical revue closes May 31 so get your tickets now. Tickets are available by calling 888-264-1788. The Playhouse is located at 211 S. Columbus Blvd.
(at Walnut Street). The theatre is located inside the Independence Seaport
Museum.
