NYC: SATURDAY 3/8/08
3PM: adding machine @ the minetta lane theatre

out of every show that i saw while in NYC, i would have to say that adding machine the musical was the one that really impressed me the most. almost an operetta, the music still is fresh in my mind as to being memorable, haunting and beautiful. also, the staging and overall design is amazing for such a little show. i wish i had time to see this one again. here is a blurb about the show:

"Darkly comic and heartbreakingly beautiful, Adding Machine, a musical adaptation of Elmer Rice's incendiary 1923 play, tells the story of Mr. Zero, who after 25 years of service to his company is replaced by a mechanical adding machine. In a vengeful rage, he murders his boss. An eclectic score gives passionate and memorable voice to this stylish and stylized production, which follows Zero's journey to the afterlife in the Elysian Fields where he is met with one last chance for romance and redemption."

having seen kiki and herb at joe's pub the last time i was in NYC, i decided to check out justin's latest show. this show was incredible. more of a true cabaret show, lustre featured mr. bond and his friends. a funny and touching evening. some powerhouse performances by people who were transgendered, the songs, monologues helped shape the evening into a funny and touching show that i would recommend to anyone who wants to see something different from the regular broadway or off-broadway fare.
