> With no end in sight to the U.S. conflict in Iraq, James Rado and Gerome
> Ragni's 1967 anti-war, anti-establishment rock musical resonates loudly once
> again. In large part, that's due to the first-rate songs, with catchy melodies
> by Galt MacDermot and playful/pensive lyrics by Rado and Ragni. The script,
> marginally updated by Rado, is a time capsule of those radically exciting
> times when American youth was first exposed to psychedelic drugs, acid rock,
> Eastern religion, sexual freedom and alternative lifestyles. Ragni and Rado's
> hairy tribe hang out in a park in Greenwich Village staging love-ins and
> taking drugs that George Berger (a magnetic Jonathan Zenz) dispenses from his
> pouch. While the others burn their draft cards at a be-in, restless dreamer
> Claude (Ren? Guerrero) vacillates over whether or not to show up for service,
> but longs for something more than the life of a dropout. Director Peter
> Finlayson captures both the comedy and tragedy of Claude's dilemma in a solid
> production brimming with strong singers, notably Sarah Marina Ali and Ana
> Ortiz. The cast mostly looks and dresses the part, however some of the men's
> wigs, including a couple of mullets, don't fit the era. Actor-choreographer
> Atticus Batacan makes the most of the cramped space in fluid dance numbers
> involving the entire 20-member cast. Knightsbridge Theater, 1944 Riverside
> Dr., Silver Lake; Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 3 p.m.; thru Sept. 18. (323) 667-0955.
