On Wednesday evening, at the beginning of the mixture and Heidi Rodewald new song cycle, Omnibus of Brooklyn, mixture of cracked a joke that he was happy to finally make the show, because repetition is no fun.
In the end, I wanted it had spent more time in rehearsals.
Figuratively and literally, songs are designed to give you a ride through Brooklyn since Omnibus of Brooklyn is a mixture and Rodewald, car service where the wait time is always 5 minutes and the drivers name does not really takes you anywhere, but give you a pair of headphones instead of this.
Journey begins as the mixture and incredible singer, superb Eisa Davis going back and forth on the displacement of Manhattan and Brooklyn, to a chorus which coincides, "baby it is black in Fort Greene"-one of many rows obtained a good chuckle of the crowd at the BAM Harvey theater. She is reluctant transplantation, he is sick of Gotham, but when he learns that it is off the coast of the pill, which sealed the agreement.?If they want children, they move to Brooklyn.
Here fans mixing - and I'm a - reminded his mind signing and sparks fly between the songs and Rodewald.Chaque song spoke Brooklyn classic experience or an archetype: arrival of Manhattan, cross the bridge (pick one), taking the G train, WALLABEES gentrification and artists, Park Slope MOM, Fulton Mall, Bushwick, Coney Island.certaines these lyrical stories are simply too generic, but when mixing abandons them clichés, things get really interesting. Her song on gentrification, for example, is a white guy who cups black face people under threat to keep rents in his adopted Hood from Bed-Stuy. It is a ridiculous concept, but it is original and funny and it keeps you listen.
The talent and the power of the musicians is assembled for this musical tale is palpable, especially in songs such as "Mr. Johnson (Coney Island)" and "Sexy Brooklyn Mami," which has riffs reminiscent of B-links, circa "Crawfish."
A smooth filler and jammy - general service car hold music - reminds us, we are on a journey from mixing and Rodewald own strange Brooklyn.Mais vision by the last three songs that gets hijacked the trip, as the words begin to feel générique.Les street scenes projected onstage does any real songs of justice either. Of the referenced seventh avenue East, we have shown a coil of Union Street with the Park Slope Food Coop as a backdrop.For a song about love in Bushwick, we see a scrolling sign of Mega Millions fading images from the Brooklyn Bridge.I qualify this criticism by saying that I couldn't help but compare projections of omnibus of BQE, who was the last ode to Brooklyn to BAM and Visual Sufjan Stevens and serious treatment.They are two different beasts - Stevens's billed as a movie - but for the account when you create a song as a hyperlocal as Brooklyn Obmnibus cycle, it is natural to expect all the visuals as nuanced.
And really, for anyone who enjoys Passing Strange, it is natural that recently to expect more.
And yet, this is perhaps the sellerie.Si evil you identify with this place so deeply that you get sentimental when there is a change of gear storefront, or feel a pang when you go down a street in particular, there is something magical about the hearing, that is referenced in the music, however it spot may or may not be.Stew cracked a joke on what it would be commissioned for this tournée.Comment "Sexy Brooklyn Mami" play song goes to Seattle? who identify with it, except for this crowd, in a place? probably not and that alone made see Omnibus of Brooklyn until it moves.
Brooklyn Omnibus runs tonight and tomorrow at the theatre of Harvey BAM.Le ticket code 12657 is tomorrow valid by today, 25% on the show.
