July is busting out all over!
Theater preview for the month to come
Mona Golabek in The Pianist of Willesden Lane at San Diego Rep.
Come From Away
- La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD
West Side Story
- Lamb's Players Theatre, 1142 Orange Avenue, Coronado
- $24 - $78
T’is the season. Count some of the ways:
NOW PLAYING:
La Jolla Playhouse: Come From Away. The world premiere musical, by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, creates a comedy within a tragedy. On the morning of 9/11, 238 flights were diverted to Canada. 38 went to Gander International, Newfoundland, “the farthest place you can get from Disneyland.” About 7000 jet-lagged, emotionally shocked passengers deplaned into a temporary utopia. Locals fed, housed, even pampered them, all the while saying “you would do the same” (hmmm…) The touching, spirited show runs through July 12.
Lamb’s Players Theatre: West Side Story. Lamb’s could be following up last year’s blockbuster, Les Miserables, with another. Director Deborah Gilmour Smyth, choreographer Kolleen Collar Smith, and fight choreographer Jordan Miller hurl the Jets and Sharks at each other with volatile precision, while Tony and Maria seek a way to “Somewhere.” Playing through August 2.
