The Bernstein was good. Very good. I mean, not pro, because they're college kids, but the pros often leave out a lot of the acting to keep the singing in perfection.
It was a revue of the musical theater works of Leonard Bernstein, called cutesily enough "Something's Coming". I had a great deal of fun. I adore Bernstein.
The Program:
"I Hate Music!" from A Cycle of Five Kid Songs
Chanel Wood, sop
"Something's Coming" from West Side Story
Alex Mendoza ten, Beau Gibson ten, Chanel
"New York, New York" from On the Town
evahbodee
"What A Waste" from Wonderful Town
Christopher Green bass, Max Wier IV bari, Sasha Cooke mezzo
"Ohio" from Wonderful Town
Sara Crain sop, Jennifer Moore sop
"Lonely Town" from On the Town
Chris G
"Somewhere" from West Side Story
Chanel, Chris G
"America" from West Side Story (ee!)
evahbodee
"Dream With Me" from Peter Pan
Jennifer
"What a Movie!" from Trouble in Tahiti (I think I want this on my senior recital)
Sasha with Alex, Jennifer and Chris as backup
"Lucky to be Me" from On the Town
Andy Einhorn (who was piano till then, and got up in the middle of this, letting Sasha take over... it was so cute) with Jennifer and co
"Carried Away" from On the Town (sooo funny)
Max and Chanel (I want this song)
"O Happy We" from Candide
Sara and Alex
"One Hand, One Heart" from West Side Story
Beau and Jennifer (sweet, sweet)
"Quintet" from West Side Story (one of my favorite scenes)
Chris, Max, Sasha, Beau, Jennifer
"Glitter and Be Gay" from Candide (Julia sang this at Isabel's recital, very cool)
Sara
"Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide (obligatory ending chorus of hope)
Sara, Alex & co
There was a cellist in the Peter Pan song whose name was Elise (quite good), and Andy did all the piano except for when Sasha took over for his song. It was all so cute and funny and tragic and Bernstein! If you've never heard any of this stuff, go find at least one. Prefereably "America." It's the most accessible. And funny. Haaa.
I want to be in an opera! And I may get to! Eee! Maybe I should explain someday how fun this is going to be when we do it... but then it'd be given away. And if we really are going to perform it, you'd know what we were going to do and it wouldn't be as effective... Eeeerk. Conflicting desires, aa!
