An off-Broadway show, the musical takes us back to old Vaudeville and we are introduced to a myriad of characters, played by one actor. In this production, the nights rotate between a male and a female actor. On the night I went, I saw the incomparable Luisa Jojic, whose enthralling performance was a downright revelation!
I am not too fussed about the story. Yes, it's disturbing to say the least, especially Act Two. But as far as musicals go, I wasn't leaving the theatre humming any memorable tunes, although that song about mothers was devastating.
Luisa Jojic however, was worth the ticket admission alone. She knocks the performance right out of the ballpark. I don't know how the other actor compares, as I did not get a chance to see him. But I can only imagine that the talent needed for a show like this is hard to find.
Herringbone ends today at the Anvil Centre! Don't miss out!
