My overall impression
I really enjoyed the show and the energy of the actors as well as the audience however, I was a bit disappointed that the show seemed to have lost the clowning type of feel that I so loved about the first Four Clowns. There was a lot of jumping around and “clowning” around but there wasn’t much clowning physicality and miming, which I loved and which I was looking forward to. I also missed Raymond Lee’s miming and humor, Alexis Jones talent and pianist Mario Granville’s keys.
But despite my personal disappointment, the show stirred the audience and people were having a great time. Even my son at 6 months was drawn to every bit on stage and seemed to have a great time (until hunger took over and we had to go outside to nurse).
Kudos to Director Jeremy Aluma for being able to tap into something in his audience that makes them come back, Fringe after Fringe, wanting more. I saw and heard people laugh for an hour straight tonight and that speaks volumes!
