: The long awaited review of Victoria Musica
: by

: First of all, I did not meet with SC this
: time. I attended a matinee as it takes five
: hours one way to get to Cincy from my house.
: I knew that SC probably wouldn’t have much
: time between shows and I was right. I also
: could not attend the many performances where
: the actors met with the audience afterward.
: My husband and I had agreed that a ten hour
: drive would not work for us, when we had to
: get up and go to work the next day.. Before
: you entered the theater, they had a wall of
: photos of the play and I so wanted to take a
: picture of it. Steve was in several close up
: shots. Unfortunately, cameras are not
: permitted in the building by loving fans.
: The house manager will confiscate the
: cameras and only return them at the end of
: the show.
:
: I sat only four rows away from the stage.
: It is a very small, intimate setting and if
: I really had wanted to, I could have touched
: SC as the actors were all over the
: place..leaving and entering by so many
: doors.. The play itself was about a woman
: who was a cello player who only became
: famous after her death. The first half of
: the play deals with her struggles to become
: famous. SC played her husband. He has longer
: hair now and a full beard which darkened or
: grayed depending on the scenes. He was about
: 35 in the beginning of the play. The first
: half of the play showed how deeply in love
: this couple was and how encouraging and
: sympathetic of a husband he was. At one
: scene, he stopped right in front of my
: center section, kissed his wife and then
: laughed aloud and grabbed her and kissed her
: deeply. Need I say that I studied every
: nuance of his body and lips as they moved
: with the actresses’? My husband
: punched my leg as I let out a sigh!
:
: The second part of the play dealt with how
: this music critic was bound and determined
: to discredit Victoria Wedlen and he didn’t
: care how. This was the first modern play
: that I have been to. They used cell phones
: and computers. One of Stephen’s lines was
: that he checked his email on a daily basis.
: I coughed quietly as I had emailed SC a week
: before to tell him I was coming and he never
: checked his email! Stephen was aged fifteen
: years in the second part of the play and
: wore clothes that my father would have. Of
: course, my husband pointed that out to me!
: Stephen did a wonderful job of being one of
: the leads and at other times being a
: supporting actor. The ending itself hinted
: that SC killed himself, because of the harsh
: criticism of his wife, but then he appeared
: on stage where it was explained that he
: clumsily only nicked his ear. That was
: funny…… the ending,however was flat and did
: little to explain why the protagonist spent
: his entire life discrediting Victoria and
: then when he succeeded ,he ended up wanting
: to get her earlier works published. The
: playwright needs to tweak the ending of it.
