Italian American Reconciliation

Italian American Reconciliation By John Patrick Shanley’s at the MLT Feb 12 – 21, 2010

Italian American Reconciliation” is a hilariously funny and oftentimes touching performance that examines the friendship of two Italian gentlemen from the old neighborhood as well as their corresponding love relationships. Things get mixed up and out of hand when one friend thinks he’s doing the right thing.

Arrived at Marblehead Little Theatre just in time for Valentine’s Day, 2010.  “Italian American Reconciliation” ran February 12 – 21, Friday and Saturday nights at 8 pm, Sundays at 2 pm. Tickets were $20.

Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris is a cabaret style musical filled with passionate solos, lively trios and amazing lyrics. Song after song addresses life’s issues in moving poetry and soaring melodies. A number of the songs were written in the aftermath of WW II and express Brel’s picture of the cost of war. The love songs break your heart and make you laugh.

The song best known is “If We Only Have Love” – an anthem to healing the wounds of the world.

This production had a core cast of Little Theatre favorites as well as guest stars at each performance.
