Review by CHARLES ZIARKO

What I liked

A gifted guy doing what he does SO well!

What I didn't like

The vocal/instrumental sound balance wasn’t quite right at the show I visited (#2 of 3), and for those of us who love Richard’s work the set wasn’t long enough!

My overall impression

Beryl’s Been Banished! It’s true: the shaky chanteuse whose “Gratitusical” was the best solo show at last year’s Fringe is nowhere to be seen, but her talented creator, Richard Levinson, is back with a cabaret length solo show of 12 numbers, all related to bars he has known and/or loved! It is To Rejoice! His literate lyrics and savvy showmanship are always a highlight and a pleasure to visit, anywhere, any time!
