The Sensational Sixties brings together over 35 Broadway hits from Hello Dolly, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, Cabaret, Sweet Charity, Man of La Mancha, Hair, Oliver, Bye Bye Birdie, Fiddler on the Roof, and more.
Featuring songs from Broadway’s biggest hits of the 1960s there’s a little something for everyone in this revue. Set in the theater after their performance ended a cast of singers passionately debate what was their favorite musical and show tunes of the 1960s. As each cast member puts their candidate forward, the entire group breaks into song to celebrate the hits from their favorite show.
With 4-part harmonies, laughs, and tender moments The Sensational Sixties will recall the decade that started with the “Camelot” of a Kennedy presidency and ended with change, hippies, and the hope of peace.
This afternoon I went to see “Tenderly,” the story of Rosemary Clooney, with Deanna Maio as Clooney and Mace Archer in a half-dozen roles that he adroitly jumps among at will. It is playing at the Samaritan Lodge in Milwaukie, which is a MUCH better venue for this company. I was overwhelmed by how far Deanna has come in her dramatic acting ability in the past few years. Of course, Clooney’s story, institutionalized and under a psychologist's care for most of this performance, is a transformative one in which she finally survived alcohol and drug dependence and finally prospered. Deanna’s portrayal of the tragic Clooney had me in tears, identifying with what Rosie went through to redirect her life at its lowest point. The stage play was wonderful to begin with, and Deanna rendered the Clooney songs in Rosie’s subdued way that was just right. It was a powerful script and, I’m pleased to say, a powerful performance by both actors, one which left me emotionally drained. If you get a chance, you might want to put this on your agenda -- two more weekends to go in November.
Dress in your favorite 1960s inspired fashions and get a complimentary beverage.
