Summary
The latest show to hit the Stuart Street Playhouse is a musical revue that explores women's history through song. Featuring famous tunes like "I Wanna Be Loved By You," "I Will Survive" and "Video," the show will get you wanting to sing along, an impulse [Dorothy Marcic] implores you to indulge - as she announces before the start of the show, "Please keep the aisles clear, unless you feel like dancing in them."
Soon the racial lines are blurred again, as we are brought into the 1970s and to the end of the show. The new women's liberation movement is brushed upon, expressing that "moving toward equality is a long and bumpy road, but we're headed in the right direction." Next there are a few songs from the '80s, although the show misses a lot of strong female voices from the end of the century: Pat Benatar, Madonna, Janet Jackson and maybe even TLC or Destiny's Child.The show's strong suit is its compassion for the baby boomer generation. St. George shakes it in a "Video" hip-hop dance like you'd never think someone of her generation would or could, making her the hippest boomer girl of them all. So if you like music that spans the 20th Century you'll enjoy "Respect." If you're a female boomer, you'll love it.See the full content of this document
