One reason why Act 1 wasn’t quite up to par was that the orchestra drowned out not only the Historian’s words at the start of the play, but the words of several of Act 1’s songs as well. Happily, musical director Katie Coleman and her capable musicians worked out the kinks as the act progressed, so that Idle’s clever lyrics became easier to hear. Strangely enough, the musical really came alive when Eric Borchers and a cartload of dead bodies perked up to sing “I’m Not Dead Yet.”  And, though the supercilious King Arthur (likeable, rubber faced Michael Monagle) and his loyal-to-the-end sidekick Patsy (a surprisingly subdued Joey McDaniel) take a while to get into their groove, it’s his rag-tag group of Knights of the Round Table that really stand out.

Of course, the timorous class will run around in circles and cry: It won’t work, it can’t work! These are the people who insisted our long ago ancestors remain in their caves because to venture into the world was dangerous, We may have to tolerate them but we don’t have to accept their fears and foibles, Private fire departments and emergency services are working all over our country and in many areas of California, Our woven leather ballerines, 90s slip-ons, black loafers, narrow foot, small ballerines, elegant flats, ballet loafers, black woven present system of government services is an overly expensive and weight around our necks that is dragging property taxpayers to the point of revolution against any further tax load, What have we got to lose by taking the fire district into the private sector? It just might work and save us a lot of money, grief, and annual beg-a-thons and threats for more and higher taxes..

4. Cécile McLorin Salvant, “Woman Child” (Mack Avenue): Only 24 years old? She echoes Bessie, Billie, Betty Carter and — who knows? — just may take it to the next step. Don’t miss this new singer, who brings humor, deep-felt understanding and some outrageousness to the tradition. “You can sit down with this music and intellectualize it, like the great European repertory,” she told me this past summer, “and then the next moment throw the table down and just dance to it — that’s something that I find absolutely brilliant.”.
