No night out on the town on tap this Valentine’s weekend with your special sweetie?

While not every one of the 16 song choices was a home run, the evening gave some performers who don’t always get leads or solos a chance to spread their wings.
It was a family affair with Sarah Lawrence, Cal Metts and their adorable daughter Gigi singing two songs from “The Secret Garden.” Gigi gave a charming performance with the Mary Lennox solo, “The Girl I Mean to Be.” Lawrence and Metts sang the heart-breaking “How Could I Ever Know,” wonderfully suited to their operatic voices in this powerful duet.

Sullivan is a consummate theatre and film artist and a virtuosic physical performer. When I learned last spring that the production was canceled, I thought it was dead, because it featured commanding physical performances. Sullivan s genius gave him no rest, however, and he translated the production into an auditory feast.
