Time goes so quickly…it seems like just yesterday that theater impressario Brandon Ivie’s bi-annual musical performance series “New Voices” was just a toddler…and, now it’s entering puberty as it turns 14 with tonight’s TWO big shows at the Erickson Theater on Capitol Hill. Mr. Ivie must be a proud parent as his baby emerges into adulthood…though coping with hormones, emerging pubes and teen acne must be a bit stressful for him.
Fortunately, his mega talented cast of mostly super young local stage performers singing mostly new songs from mostly new/young musical theater songwriters will keep him calm and stress free. And, New Voices is also a huge treat for an audience eager to see adorable young performers belt out exciting new works of music. It’s a juicy wet dream of a show for the musical theater nerd and a chance to see up and coming performers strut their stuff at a fraction of the cost of checking them out at a pricey show at the 5th Avenue or the Village Theater.
