We had seen Hero's done by Ann Reed and Dan and thought was just excellent. I was amazed. Baxton has the personality of a proffessional actor. They must do this many other places such as Duluth and Rochester plus thoughout the nation. It really makes you think about your heritage the video should be made available to high school AP history classes and college classes.
Enjoyed the evening totally....from the ethnic street dancers to the whole show. I would vote to offer this MANY more times... in all ways, it was outstanding! The visuals, the voices, the musicians and the carefully crafted script.
It was one of the best performances we have seen in a long time, and we see many. It was very emotional, and because of the immigration issues that are going on now, also very contemporary and thought provoking. The music was just wonderful.
Steerage Song was a pleasure - well put-together, fabulous cast that worked together flawlessly. Minimal but appropriate choreography, great voices, marvelous band, and the most wonderful Dan Chouinard. Many songs were familiar, others new; spoken word sections brief enough to be OK, and helped set the stage for the songs.
I loved the music - its variety, and the performing of it. I wished it might have had more of a story - explaining the pros and cons of all the immigration that happened during that time. In the few pieces that that was talked about, it was clear that many issues are not very different from today - Personally I love learning things from history so this was a good start and a fun way to do it - just wanted a tad more.
