I took my family to see "A Chorus Line" which Steinhardt delivered last winter (?)
and the dancing was the original choreography, and it was done superbly. I thought the acting was also good, especially a few of the leads, but not many vocals stood out, if you can believe it! The show as a whole, however, was very well done. We also saw "Parade", performed again by Steinhardt, and it was EXCELLENT. Vocals and acting, not much dancing, of course. Then we saw "Grand Hotel" put on by mostly CAP21 students and were very disappointed; probably more in the show than in the performances. Some students were very good, but no one "blew me away". We also saw "Smile" put on by mostly CAP21'ers and the vocals were pretty good; the acting and dancing, however, were SUPERB. There was not one weak actor in the bunch! This is just my opinion, though; theater is subjective, as you know. BTW, my d is going to CAP and was wondering why she didn't apply to Steinhardt after seeing both of their productions! Gulp!
