Another great review for The Other Mozart! This weekend only - $15 tix with code: MUSICBOX (here.org/shows/detail/1467/) - performances by Sylvia Milo tonight at 8:30, tomorrow at 4pm. (understudy Julia Stockl today at 4, tomorrow at 8:30). This completely original production is well researched, beautifully written, creatively staged, and wonderfully acted. ...entertaining, enlightening, humorous ...with narrative intimacy. ... As Nannerl, Milo is immensely graceful, thoughtful, focused. Our audience is fully engaged and sympathetic. The actress makes her character’s experience immediate and visceral. And she’s charming. Director Isaac James Byrne has done a masterful job, utilizing the small, flat space with imagination. Characterization of Nannerl is immensely appealing. Pace couldn’t be better; we witness thinking. I can’t sufficiently praise the concept and manifestation of the dress. At once opulent and symbolic, it defines a playing area and spurs anticipation. Small props appear from and recede into hidden pockets in an eighteen foot skirt covered with hundreds of loose letters. A metal corset with panniers rises from its center. The costume, for it becomes just that, is also the play’s set. [by Magdalena Dąbrowskaand Miodrag Guberinic] Contributing artists are top notch. Hair/Wig design by Courtney Bednarowski is pitch perfect. Like cotton candy it rises above Nannerl creating something of a halo. Joshua Rose’s Lighting Design affects every move and mood. Original Music by Nathan Davis and Phyllis Chen is rich and evocative. Sounds create metallic abrasion, out of sync clockwork, an automaton, a music box.
