One Sentence Reviews: Nut Re-Mix & Voices of the South
Posted by Chris Davis on Sun, Dec 13, 2009 at 11:38 AM
- So, impress me already.
New Ballet Ensemble's Nut Re-Mix: It's a tragedy that this show is a one-and-done event because Katie Smythe's New Ballet Ensemble has crafted dynamic techno-enhanced nutcracker that trades spectacle and narrative for sweetness, surprise.
Voices of the South's Present-Present #8: Home for the Holidays: The ending is schmaltzy y'all, but Home for the Holidays is a warm, fuzzy, funny, smart and decidedly thoughtful tour through the beating heart of Memphis-Rock-City and a fun night of theater from Sister Myotis' greeting trough a stilted self-parodying finale that finds the company quoting song lyrics as they walk about the stage coddling vinyl records like infants.

Nut Re-Mix has sooo much potential! It is wonderful in concept, and I would love to see it done by a professional team that could capitalize on the potential by completing the aspects that were missing, like a good set design.
