    Avg. Event Rating (3.0 Stars): 3 out of 5 stars rating Add Review/Comment

    This quintessential 'Hey, kids, let's put on a show!' musical boasts one of the greatest scores ever written. The old-fashioned virtues of a 30's musical comedy are peppered with socio-political issues which still resonate today as a group of teenagers are left alone for two weeks to put on their own production. As they prepare for opening night, their efforts on and off stage lead them on in their own march toward self-discovery, reconciliation and romance. "Babes in Arms" features a hallmark score by Rodgers and Hart including songs like "Johnny One Note," "My Funny Valentine," "All At Once," and "Lady is a Tramp."

        This new production is typical CMT, great choreography, wonderful costumes, nice set. Always A+ in terms of production values. And the material is great. Choreography was rock solid and the girls shined vocally; the boys not so much. My only other negative is that seeing 11-13 year olds play grownups having romances and talking about "being a woman" makes me feel icky. The RS age bracket is much more believable and enjoyable when they stick to animals or kids their own age. I felt the same way about HSM last summer--12 year olds kissing or almost kissing is truly icky, almost creepy. But snaps to CMT for pulling this gem out of mothballs, it's great to expose performers and audiences to some truly great tunes. Finally BIG snaps to the young lady that was "Baby Whatever" for Johnny One Note, she KILLED on Sat night. Collapse
