If Tap Shoes Could Talk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Fortunately,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the stars of Movin' Melvin Brown: Me, Ray Charles and Sammy Davis Jr. and If Tap Shoes Could Talk do more than dance. In fact, Brown devotes at least half of his 90-minute show to belting out songs by Ray Charles and Sammy Davis Jr.
Brown performs with so much joy and gusto,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it's not enough to make him a five-star performer. He's only an average singer and an average storyteller.
His show lacks inspiration -- especially in our karaoke-obsessed era where Canadian Idol and America's Got Talent are top-rated TV shows,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
He needs to do more than string together a few hits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], regale us with anecdotes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and laugh like the guy from the 7-Up ads of the '80s. "Ha. (Pause.) Ha. (Pause.) Ha. (Pause.) Ha!"
Brown's only flash of brilliance comes during his Michael Jackson-doing-Riverdance number,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the full effect of his moves are lost due to the venue's poor sightlines.
If Tap Shoes Could Talk's two dancers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Annie Mayer and husband Michael Walsh, don't fare any better in the venue.
That's where the similarities end between the two productions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Neither Mayer nor Walsh ever breaks into song. Instead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], If Tap Shoes Could Talk is more of a play -- with a few dance numbers -- about New York,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], love and taking chances.
There are four well-defined and intriguing characters, including a Woody Allen-type writing instructor, a girl who always falls for musicians,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and an online listings editor who refuses to leave the four walls of his apartment.
He's responsible for letting people know about the city's arts and cultural events,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but his only entertainment is playing with his staple remover and watching the tap dancer in the next apartment.
Bittersweet and breezy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], If Tap Shoes Could Talk is a delightful little romp.
It's just too bad Mayer and Walsh didn't get one of the Fringe's feet-friendly venues -- such as the Walterdale Playhouse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Varscona Theatre or even the Academy at King Edward School.
