Connor Palace Theatre,Playhouse Square,Performing Arts

These days, there are a number of plays, shown in this area and elsewhere, in which the lead male role is gender-switched leading to insightful and successful productions.

And until that casting practice is banned by the Ohio legislature we can enjoy the richness produced by female performers in male Shakespearean roles and perhaps many others., now at the Connor Palace Theatre in Playhouse Square, the main role of the man Bobby has been switched to a female named, conveniently, Bobbie. While the show is an absolute treat, that casting flip turns in some mixed results.

But age 35 is different for men and women in our culture, a basic truth we don't need to explicate here. And unless we learn more about Bobbie's character, it's hard for the audience to sort out her motivations.was innovative when it opened as a"concept" musical with no traditional storyline. Comprised of short vignettes, the script maneuvers Bobbie through various situations where she interacts with her different married pals.

Bobbie has an overnight hook-up with airline steward Andy that culminates in one of Sondheim’s best songs,"Barcelona." But the downbeat stinger at the end of the song falls flat here since the relationship dynamics are muddled by the gender switch.
