“Raisin The Musical” at Littleton’s historic Town Hall Arts Center.
What a effectiveness I witnessed previous night! Based on Lorraine Hansberry’s enjoy A Raisin in the Sunshine.
The e book is by Robert Nemiroff and Charlotte Zaltzberg, the new music is by Judd Woldin, and the lyrics are by Robert Brittan.
Lorraine Hansberry’s American Common A Raisin in the Sun opened in 1960 on Broadway. The forged at that time incorporated: Sidney Portier, Ruby Dee, Claudia McNeil, and Debbie Allen just to identify a couple of. This modern generation, even so, was stellar many thanks to director and choreographer Christoper Web site-Sanders. With a phenomenal solid of actors with outstanding voices! “Raisin” was strikingly comparable to the authentic enjoy. Getting you deep into the life of a very pleased Black spouse and children navigating societal challenges and goals in 50s Chicago. With many influential scenes & musical figures these kinds of as “Runnin’ to Meet up with the Male,” “Sweet Time,” and “Measure of the Valleys – A Denver indigenous,” Mary Louise Lee (Mama) sang (not sing but sang) her heart out. Her emotional effectiveness brought her & I to tears! It deeply touched my coronary heart – these kinds of a potent instant for any mother!
Emmanuel Hamilton who portrayed Travis Young blew my head. Remember his name! I’m absolutely sure we will hear from him yet again sooner than later in long term performances. Micah J. Lawrence, (Walter Lee Young) Heidi Carann Snider, (Benetha More youthful), and Asha Romero (Ruth), have been perfect in their respective roles. I loved Raisin: The Musical from the opening scene till the quite conclude. It was tough to continue to be in my seat from the audio and emotional movement. It’s their 1st time at any time in Colorado!
Really do not miss it! Now by way of April 14. I can not propose it plenty of.
