2/5 Hi J. 2 years ago on Google
I
saw
the
two-person
show
about
Rosemary
Clooney
and
the
one-person
show
for
the
one
about
Billie
Holliday.
I
would
have
given
5
stars
but
something
actors
did
for
both
shows
forces
me
to
really
lower
my
review.
For
both
shows,
a
jazz
trio
sat
on
the
stage
for
the
entire
show.
Three
people
who
had
obviously
spent
their
lives
honing
their
musicianship
and
sat
quietly
through
the
entire
productions,
moving
only
to
turn
pages
or
play
their
instrument.
They
obviously
had
to
have
rapt
attention
for
the
entire
show,
so
they
could
watch
and
listen
for
the
actors'
cues,
and
sometimes
even
when
the
actors'
miss
their
cues,
the
musicians
still
have
to
come
in
on
time
and
keep
the
production
moving.
At
the
very
end,
during
the
bows,
for
the
actor(s)
to
stand
there,
bow,
shrug
their
shoulders
to
feign
humbleness,
there
was
not
one
single
or
gesture
to
the
musicians.
They
just
bowed
and
exited.
No
turn
of
the
head,
no
elegant
elongation
of
the
arm,
showing
and
open
palm
and
slowly
turning
to
give
a
"ta
dahhh"
gesture
towards
the
band.
Really
rude
and
unprofessional.
Lots
of
people
help
with
the
production,
and
I
can
even
understand
if
the
musicians
are
in
an
orchestra
pit,
but
even
in
those
cases,
the
musicians
are
acknowledged.
Let's
get
some
people
in
these
productions
who
acknowledge
the
other
people
who
are
unsung
artists
who
were
on
the
stage
the
entire
time.
In
both
cases,
the
noise
level
of
everyone
leaving
made
it
impossible
for
me
to
cheer
for
the
band.
Oh
well.
It
makes
me
question
how
they
were
treated
during
rehearsals.
Lots
of
artists
and
artisans
help
put
a
production
together.
The
actors
are
to
be
applauded
for
their
ability
to
carry
an
entire
show
with
just
their
personalities
and
singing
abilities,
which
they
did.
Sad
for
one
little
omission
to
ruin
it.
