10 minutes late......hard to watch this on top of Rita Moreno last night with her live music and mega TALENT.
This cabaret show at the perfect Starbright Theatre in Summerlin Las Vegas (8 miles west of the Texas Station) opening on a week run ....concept by Betty Sullivan Cleary.... terribly cast and poorly produced.....great 1943 era music with only the Andrews Sisters coming off with a sense of realisty. Betty Davis, Rita Hayworth, Kitty Carlisle, and Bert Lahr singing.....maybe they did it IN 1943......IT did not look well here. Worst of all a 14 year old boy playing the part of a soldier and dancing with all of the above.....he was just not right in his 8 sizes too big uniform....even I didn't look that out of place......lots of veterans in the crowd probably from WWll or Korea....I was a junior vet from Viet Nam !
Music all fine....it just didn't come across well here.....I love these people and their efforts.....not this show.....71 minutes....a week to run ......better stuff coming at this venue. C- 71
