Re: [Rachel_York_Fans] A Rave for Rachel

I saw the invited dress rehearsal.  Rachel glowed.  It's hard not to watch her when she's onstage.  Even if she's not doing anything.  :)

It's in the LA Times. Here's the link:

And here are some excerpts:

Under the old MGM studio system, Rachel York and Michael Gruber
would likely be household names. They carry "My One and Only," which
opens the 10th anniversary season of Reprise! Although this revival
of the 1983 Gershwin rehash has its liabilities, its stars aren't
among them.

**********

York owns the house from her first entrance atop Bradley Kaye's
functional set, rising like an Art Deco Venus in Heather Carleton's
glittering era couture. Playing blackmailed Edythe with dry
insouciance, York is a knockout, peaking at her heartfelt "How Long
Has This Been Going On?" Similarly, the engaging Gruber devours tap-
happy Billy with assured finesse, sending his Act 1 interpolation
of "Strike Up the Band" past the parking lot. Their mutual regard is
delightful, whether meeting cute ("He Loves and She Loves"),
splashing in a wading pool (" 'S Wonderful") or selling the nuptial
finale ("Kickin' the Clouds Away").

**********

I can't wait to see this - closing night, actually. Woo hoo. When
are you LA folks going?
