Saturday at the New York International Fringe Festival – August 10, 2013 Recommendations by David Roberts and Joseph Verlezza Theatre Reviews Limited
FringeNYC’s second day was filled with well-crafted musicals and plays well worth seeing. Our reviews of these performances will be posted soon on this Blog and on our website http://www.theatrereviews.com
OUR MUSICAL PICK-OF-THE-DAY IS -
“Gertrude Stein SAINTS!” Based on the Text by Gertrude Stein Music written by the Ensemble at Carnegie Mellon University Directed by Michelle Sutherland
The sound of American music ignites this adaptation of Stein's unconventional 'saints' librettos, making for an opera experience unlike anything else. With joyful abandon these performer/saints sing through gospel, rap, jazz, rock, and country to an ecstatic conclusion.
“Gertrude Stein SAINTS!” is presented by The New York International Fringe Festival and Theater Plastique at the Ellen Stewart Theatre – La MaMa, 66-68 East 4th Street (2nd Avenue and Bowery).
