'The Gardens of Anuncia' Theater Review

'The Gardens of Anuncia' is an evocative, stylized musical inspired by the childhood of Graciela Daniele.

(L to R): Priscilla Lopez, Kalyn West in The Gardens of Anuncia (Julieta Cervantes) In order to deal with the past, sometimes memories must be altered to beautify the ugliness of their reality. This is one of the themes in Michael John LaChiusa’s musical, The Gardens of Anuncia, directed and choreographed by Graciella Daniele. The Gardens of Anuncia is currently running at Lincoln Center’s Mitzi…

ENCORES! 2025 SEASON ANNOUNCED

ENCORES! URINETOWN FEB 5 – 16, 2025 In this side-splitting satire directed by Teddy Bergman (KPOP), a young hero fights to create change in a dystopian world where water is scarce and “Hope” is even scarcer. This three-time Tony-winning musical by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis breaks the fourth wall to examine humanity’s darkest dilemmas, all while being “audacious and exhilarating” (The New York Times).

ENCORES! LOVE LIFE MAR 26 – 30, 2025 Love Life, the only collaboration between Kurt Weill and Alan Jay Lerner, depicts a love story that takes place over 200 years of American history, through the eyes of a family who never ages. This rarely staged production directed by Tony winner Victoria Clark (Kimberly Akimbo) is considered by some to be the first concept musical, an inspiration for musical theater favorites such as Cabaret, Chicago, and Company.

ENCORES! THE WILD PARTY APR 30 – MAY 11, 2025 Directed by Saheem Ali (Fat Ham), The Wild Party is a jazz-age tragedy about a gin-soaked party. What happens when a night of debauchery leads to a morning of sobering truths? Michael John LaChiusa (The Gardens of Anuncia) and George C. Wolfe (Jelly’s Last Jam) bring Joseph Moncure March’s notorious narrative poem to life in their "dangerous, seedy, fantastic” (The Observer) musical adaptation.

ANNUAL GALA PRESENTATION RAGTIME OCT 30 – NOV 10, 2024 Ragtime is a sweeping, powerful musical with music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Terrence McNally that follows three fictional families in pursuit of the American Dream at the turn of the 20th century. This gala production is led by Tony-nominated Encores! Artistic Director Lear deBessonet and features Joshua Henry (Coalhouse Walker Jr.), Caissie Levy (Mother), and Brandon Uranowitz (Tateh).

tumblr mobile wouldn't let me post earlier so let's do a speedrun. brahms 4 mahler 9 and tchaikovsky 6 all have this in common: they'd be a satisfying enough piece of music if it was just the first three movements but the fourth movement elevates it to something beyond enjoyable, it becomes philosophy, it becomes worldly, it offers perspective. also the chicago symphony horn section has become a disaster since they denied david cooper his tenure. if i was on the board i would be freaking the fuck out and demanding we bring him back because the last few weeks the horn section has been straight up embarrassing (and this is a horn section that has a reputation of being one of the best in the world). there's a front of house guy at my job that i was like ooooo maybe i can seduce him hee hee even tho he's straight. but then today he boldly asked for my phone number and then told me he was bi (oops sorry!!!) so i'm hoping to kiss him at the upcoming holiday party. camille claudel has an exhibit at the art institute and it's phenomenal, i mean it's really comprised of two masterpieces and lots of work on a smaller scale, but nevertheless. i spent a lot of time with it yesterday, and then i went back to the art institute today, where i walked around the impressionism rooms and i was like oh, that's right 🙄 they also have rodin 🙄 but anyway it's incredible how claudel's sculpture conveys a sense of movement and maturity, and looking at her work--or rather, around her work, because i think when observing sculpture you should NOT stay in one place--it's simultaneously painful and exhilarating. also i just listened to the days of wine and roses cast recording and maybe it's better live but it struck me as way too academic and precise. i read a review of adam guettel's music once that said it sounded as though it were written in a manhattan penthouse, and that's definitely the case with this one. give me the melodrama! dig deeper! i think michael john lachiusa exists in a similar musical realm but also he's just so much better. and that's what you missed........on glee!

Mary Testa singing "Miss The Man" from The Gardens Of Anuncia

It's so cool that Michael John LaChiusa has been writing songs for Mary Testa for like, two decades now. He knew he had a good thing going and he held onto it.
