  • Review “Head over Heels” (Kokandy Productions): Poppy yet Poignant!

    Friday, July 19, 2019 Kokandy Productions, The Fourth Walsh Permalink 0

    Kokandy Productions presents the Chicago premiere HEAD OVER HEELS. Sir Phillip Sidney’s “The Arcadia” gets a modern day makeover. Jeff Whitty (conceived and original book) and James Magruder (adaptor) dust off this 17th century prose romance and spin it into a queer fairytale of a musical. They cleverly weave in the music of 80s girl band, ...

  • Review “Loving Repeating” (Kokandy Productions): Meaningfully Sung but not Meaningful Songs

    Friday, July 24, 2015 Kokandy Productions, The Fourth Walsh Permalink 0

    Kokandy Productions presents LOVING REPEATING. I have mixed feelings about this play like I have mixed feelings about Gertrude Stein.  I respect Gertrude for her contribution to history.  She had a strong and influential voice in an era when women didn’t.  She was passionate about modern art and influenced the artists in creating the new genre.  ...

    Sunday, June 22, 2014 Kokandy Productions, The Fourth Walsh Permalink 0

      Kokandy Productions presents ASSASSINS. Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics) and John Weidman (book) immortalized successful and unsuccessful presidential killers in their musical tribute.  Based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr. , Sondheim and Weidman cleverly focus on the individual historical incidents within this brotherhood of assassins.  Each executioner gets a song or monologue to tell ...
