Kiss of the Spider Woman

OSA has done it again. And fabulously so with great music, electric dancing and a story to send chills up your spine. A few things, of course:

1. Every male up on stage wasn't the stereotypical dancer-type. This might have been a great choice.

2. High props to Mr. Ricardo Aponte for his masterful choreography! Every person on stage was exact, to the point, and exhausted after every section! Well done, Ricardo!

3. Couldn't hear the woman playing Aurora, the wonderful actress Sims Lamason. The songs, perhaps, were too deep that the audience couldn't hear her, or the band was way too loud for her. She was swallowed up in a lot of words and the audience could only see her mouth moving.

4. Charlie Miller, the Warden, and Royce Garrison, Marcos, were phenominal and creepy as they kept the inmates in check throughout the entire show.

5. Now, really, in theater, you just let the story prompt you to applaude or not to applaude. Unfortunately, the director was in the back row prompting applause...and loudly. Many audience members were wondering what the heck was going on.

6. The actor portraying Molina, Brian James Porter, is an absolute doll! Wonderfully focused, incredibly moving - a true star on stage.

Don't miss "Kiss of the Spider Woman" at OnStage Atlanta. It's well worth the visit!
