Two Steps Away From Ashland…I would rate this performance very “high!”  The concept is great, the interpretation of 12th night form a 70s perspective is wonderful. The acting was flawless - everybody was great. I only noticed once or twice when Sir Toby stumbled over his lines instead of his feet.  The choreography was also perfect. Especially the “Valentines.”  Another added bonus was the on-stage (what I will call for lack of a better term) “bricolage” at the end of the intermission. Brilliant in more ways than I have time to tell.  The music was wonderful - the schticks were amusing - without fail. OK - now for the harsh negatives.First, the on-stage band during the pre-show was way too loud. And, the quality of the performance was way too low. This is not a rock concert - recorded music would work just as well. A band might be added later - if one of suitable skill could be found - to play a tune or two at the start of the play - leading to the duke’s opening line.Second, there was an annoying inconsitency to the songs… some performers sung along while others were lipsynching. One or the other - please. Along those lines, we were seated near the front. And, as such, it was very strange to see actors moving their mouths in front of us, while the sound of the music came from the speakers behined us. Any way to move the speakers to the front so the picture matches the sound?On a smaller note, the Duches was a little distracting. Her costume (and tats) gave the impression that she was more into bondage and discipline than peace and love - something not reflected in that character. Striking and sexy - sure… but not in sync with the rest of the performance. I was distracted from enjoying the play when I found myself trying to read her thigh.Addressing the two big issues will make a strong step in the right direction.For the next interation of this brillian adaptaction, you should (as I’m sure you’ve considered) make it a full-blown musical using performers who can both sing and act!Many Thanks for a wonderful performance!
