How DO you recreate those years. I suppose you can’t. My best BLUME was a semi-pro summer show at Baden bei Wien. They took the original music and text .. and performed them. OK, with limited resources, but that’s better than changing things to fit some lousy ‘concept’. As for Jim Boy,if you can’t play him as the Al Jolson he was written as, then don’t do the show.Mimsy PC ruins pieces like this. Opera singers CAN act and dance. Ever seen Lexi Hutton? Agnes Zwierko? Seth Carico? (my faves) .. of course you have. (How about those three in KISMET!) But CASTING is not a forte of the German provincial/subsidised theatre. Well its usually a tad better than the direction…
Long live BLUME and lets hope someone gets it ALL right soon!
