Another Day in Paradise
Downtown Cabaret Theatre, CT
This show deserves Another Day
“It’s too bad that Another Day in Paradise has
visited Downtown Cabaret for such a brief stay. We can only hope that this
enchanting mini-musical will surface at another neighboring venue in the
near future.”
“Another Day in Paradise is the ironic
title which describes the dilemma of one woman (and perhaps every modern
woman). It follows her saga through career, marriage and motherhood, attempting
to juggle all three and using song and dialogue to tell the story. Three gifted performers—Tracey
Marble, Laurie Sondermeyer, and Trisha Turiano—all play the role of this
embattled woman, serving at times as alter egos. All three are absolute pros,
with body language, voices, and characterizations right on target. “
“This is not new material. It is, in fact, Everywoman’s
story. But Randazzo and company package it beautifully. Director Gary John
La Rosa and musical director Phil Hall manage a brisk pace, keeping
the cast moving smoothly and interweaving solos, duets, and trios with sharp
dialogue. There is never a lag, never a moment of boredom for the audience.”
Paradise would undoubtedly work better
in a supper club setting or intimate theater, an appearance which one hopes
will be forthcoming in the near future.”
