"Hush The Musical" FringeNYC 2011 Show Libretto by Emelise Aleandri Co-Conceived, Composed, and Directed by Charles Mandracchia
Mini-Review by David Roberts
My first exposure to Charles Mandracchia's craft was when I listened to and reviewed his "Valentino the Musical" CD. The skill in composing and arranging I experienced then was amply evident in this current work "Hush The Musical." Emelise Aleandri's libretto based on "Shhhh!, a play by Etta Cascici, places five stranded passengers in an airport lounge whose lives begin to intertwine in interesting and sometimes implausibe ways. However, the music is grand and will be remembered fondly by those who share the drama in the airport lounge.
Mr. Mandracchia's compositions here are wonderfully varied in style and appropriately challenge the competent cast to bring them to life.
Be sure to visit the airport lounge in "Hush" and listen in to the stories and experience the relationships that delevop and change before your eyes and ears.
