Accidental loss, murder, misalignment and a lot of dressing and undressing create the mood for this noir takeoff. There are a lot of references to 1960s sitcoms which will be familiar to a generation of un certain age and perhaps not to others. The structure is collagelike, and if one works at it, one can find the trace of a narrative.
Car Talk: The Musical
Central Square Theater
An impressionistic musical romp inspired by the long-running National Public Radio classic Car Talk.
George Gershwin Alone
Pianist and actor Hershey Felder returns with his show about George Gershwin to the Boston stage. I saw it, and was enthralled, ten (or so) years ago when he first performed it in the Boston area, at the American Repertory Theatre. Since then, he has taken it on the road, and has done it 3500 (or so) times – a long road.
Private Lives
Huntington Theatre Company
A raucous British comedy of manners set in France, appropriately Freudian, resonating with echoes of Hegel and embellished with touches of Marx… Brothers.
An Evening with Hershey Felder
ArtsEmerson
The multi-talented dramatic and musical interpreter of George Gershwin, Frederic Chopin, Ludwig van Beethoven and Leonard Bernstein, as himself for a change.
