That belovedly droll English valet of old, Jeeves, has resurfaced to the delight of everyone in the the charming play JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE now onstage at The Shaw Festival. After the recent demolition of the Royal George Theatre in Niagara on the Lake Ontario, the Shaw Festival has set up stage yet again in the home if it's birth, the Court House Theatre. The small confines seemed tailor made for the deliciously silly antics of P.G. Wodehouse's most famous characters.
When FUNNY GIRL opened on Broadway it was a smash hit in 1964 and would jettison the career of Barbra Streisand. It became a staple on repertory companies, regional and community theatres and summer stock. But the looming memory of Streisand's iconic performance on stage and then on screen seemed to have destined the show to be unproduceable without a genuine triple threat actress who could sing, act, AND be a comedian par excellence. It took almost 60 years for a Broadway revival to occur, and poor Beanie Feldstein was not up to the leading lady task, being replaced with the much more appropriate star Lea Michele. Once again, the tale of Fanny Brice had resurfaced and the often comedic, often dark musical comedy has been re-introduced to audiences who can look at the piece without Streisand's interpretation burned into our memory.
