Theater Review: Beaches, A New Musical
6 / 10
Bette Midler’s 1988 classic tearjerker Beaches has long endured the test of time, even earning multiple Grammy Awards for the iconic, “The Wind Beneath My Wings.” Beaches, A New Musical opts to forgo most of that legendary soundtrack, supercharged by Midler ballads, instead forging ahead with a new original score by Michael Stoller, and lyrics by Iris Rainer Dart. The songs here are not the most memorable (particularly a few fillers by the generic men), yet this take on Beaches captures the magic of that timeless friendship for one of New York’s biggest stages. Through over three decades, we follow Cee Cee and Bertie on their epic parallel trajectories of highs and lows. This ultimately becomes a passionate love letter to the 80s film visually, both for better and worse. Gorgeous set design, the two most adorable child actresses to step into these roles, and the potency of its strong narrative carry Beaches through a few significant flaws.
Beaches: Much Loved Novel-and-Movie Bursts Into So-So-Songs
5 / 10
Of the creative staff Tracy Christensen’s costumes, Ken Billington’s lighting, and Kai Harada’s sound meet their mark. Surprisingly, the set from usually reliable James Noone’s does not. Oddly dark and compressed, it features a raised platform midstage, beyond which is a screen where David Bengali projects images of both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. When the older and younger Cee Cees and Berties tip their toes in those waters, however, they do their dipping downstage, almost disconcertingly over the orchestra pit. Anyway, if Dart doesn’t hit her musical target high enough this time, there’s evidence—isn’t there?—that she’s primed to try, try again.
