110 in the Theatre: A Review of “110 in the Shade”

I am admittedly unfamiliar with the theatre scene at SDSU so I don’t know who these actors are and therefore have no friendly bias like in high school. In spite of the fallacy of the story the acting was excellent and suprisingly enough the vocals were extraordinary and almost seemed wasted on the particular musical. I found myself merely listening the song, and the also excellent orchestra, and not trying after all to decipher what they were singing about. That left me in a sort of rut until the shocking finale when the sky opened up and water poured from the ceiling. They made good in the end. Shame on me for being amazed at such an act of production, but at the time it was refreshing indeed and the fact that the cast didn’t even get wet was more amazing.
