Going for Galt: The Human Comedy extends

Musical-theater cultist that I am, I had been looking at the fore part for months to Astoria Performing Arts Center’s reanimation of Galt McDermot and William Dumaresq’s underappreciated 1983 report opera, The Human Comedy, which I be seized of enjoyed for years on CD end had never seen on its feet. When I ultimately trekked out to Queens to distinguish the show, I wasn’t disappointed: My four-eminent person review is in the magazine this week. Although the drama itself has certain important flaws, notably in the bluntness of the libretto, MacDermot’s harmony is genuinely special; and APAC’s notable full-scale production, directed by Tom Wojtunik, strikes each impressive balance between simplicity and bustle. (Extra kudos to symphonious director Jeffrey Campos for the display’s stirring choral work.) The and nothing else problem was that The Human Comedy’s make was so short; it was scheduled to unite this Saturday. But it’s my mind to break the news today that the product has extended its run by a week, with added performances at 8pm on May 26–28 and at 2pm in successi~ May 28. Tickets are just $18; they have power to and should be purchased here. (One donation to nonnatives of Queens: Give yourself more extra travel time, as the theater is located in a demented zone in which 30th Road, 30th Street, 30th Avenue and 30th Drive whole coexist within mere blocks of one another—city-planning comedy of a very unhuman kind.)
