THE CITY CLUB -- Anyone, Anyone?
Posted: 4/21/12 at 03:41am
Hey, all!

Just wanted to gauge the board (re: THE CITY CLUB).

Has anyone seen it? If so, what's the buzz?

I only ask 'cause it's been in previews for a while, and I believe, opens on Monday.

Thanks!

An agreeable surprise. The book is rudimentary and could use some clarification with respect to the background of its plot line, but the the jazz-flavored score is quite good, and keeps the evening percolating. The songs are saucy, jaunty, and vibrant. I was very impressed with the smart choreography, especially considering the confines of the small space. The cast performs well, and the band is terrific.

I enjoyed it.

I also enjoyed it, book definitely needs work but the music and performances are fine.
