Side Show is at the St. James Theatre. Sometimes a big musical is best when it's very small. Even the songwriting is of a different quality here: lithe and specific. The music from Side Show is written by Tony nominee and Grammy winner Henry Krieger with lyrics by Tony nominee Bill Russell. In any case, you can't get to the first except through the second. And "I Will Never Leave You, " the size of the statements for once seems earned, as we have learned from the inside to care for the characters.
Listen to "I Will Never Leave You" below. Oscar winner Bill Condon directs the upcoming revival. This part is fiction, or at least conflation. ) The songs, with music by Henry Krieger and lyrics by Russell, have an especially bad case. Whether the freak is a merman or a Merman, all that producers can sell to audiences is the uniqueness of their stars. And when they sing together, as in the big ballads "Who Will Love Me As I Am? " For me, it's the intimate story that deserves precedence; it's far better told. Even as the show proceeds, they often remain exhibits in a parable of exploitation. If so, perhaps Condon should have gotten rid of the brilliant device of having the Lizard Man, when on break from the sideshow, wear reading glasses. Now as then, the cult musical about the conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton is itself conjoined. Perhaps this was Condon's intention; after all, there is a profound tradition of theater (and film) in which we are not meant to feel directly but to comprehend what the authors have identified as the apposite feeling.
Davie especially must negotiate an obstacle course of whiplashing emotion; not only does Buddy profess his love to her, but so, too, does the twins' friend Jake, the former King of the Cannibals in the sideshow and now their all-purpose body man. The story of the Hiltons' rise from circus freaks to vaudeville stars in the early 1930s, with all the requisite references to cultural voyeurism and its human costs, is fused to an intimate story of emotional accommodation between sisters as unalike as sisters can be. In it, Daisy and Violet, joined at the hip, are placeholders, no different than the human pincushion and the half-man-half-woman and all the others being introduced; it hardly matters what each twin is like individually or what kind of "talent" makes them marketable together. All the subtlety unused in the big story is lavished here on a believable yet unpredictable arc for the twins.
Indeed, much of the music is indistinguishable from Krieger's work on Dreamgirls. That may be because the level of craft just isn't high enough. Orchestrations are by Tony winner Harold Wheeler with musical direction by Sam Davis. Daisy always introduces herself with a confident leaping two-note figure; Violet with a drooping triplet. The Broadway revival of the Tony-nominated musical, starring Davie and Padgett as the Hilton Sisters, will begin previews Oct. 28 at the St. James Theatre prior to an official opening Nov. 17. Their apparent rescue by Terry, the man from the Orpheum circuit, and Buddy, a song-and-dance mentor, only furthers the theme; Terry's eye for the main chance, and Buddy's for a way out of his own sense of abnormality (he's gay), eventually reduce them, too, to exploiters. Watching them negotiate each other physically, while trying not to think about the giant magnets sewn into the actresses' underwear, one does not need help to see, or rather feel, the metaphor of human connection and its discontent.
As Daisy, the more ambitious one, grows sharper and harder with disappointment, Violet, the more conventional one, grows sadder and lonelier — even though it's she who gets married. There's no avoiding the Siamese imagery; many of the songs, and even the title, play on the theme. ) All the effort seems to have gone into fashioning big visual payoffs, some of which are indeed jaw-dropping.
