Behind the Ordway theater, the loading dock is transformed into a stage with tables and chairs arranged over the black top. The bustling downtown, with the sound of buses, trains and passer-bys doesn’t stop this cabaret of Reese Britts, Rajané Katurah, Ruthanne Heyward, Ben Bakken, and Ordway Resident Artist Jamecia Bennett, produced by artistic directior, Rod Kaats. All eyes are on the artists as they sing Seasons of Love, music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson.
The audience looks up as the artists come down the stairs from the balcony. A shiver transcends down my spine, as Rajane Katurah solos. Maintaining a distance of six feet apart, the artists stands to deliver to an audience of less than seventy. The feeling is sombre as each of the songs were chosen at random as part of the 2020 Ordway season that had been cancelled.
Reese Britts sings, If I Can’t Have Her, music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. Britts’ emotion shows angst and love on a stage that seems to amplify the voices of fifty, but carries only five. Ruthanne Heyward makes her debut with song ‘Just A Little More.’
Rajané Katurah comments that singing at the loading docks is a ‘declaration of everything in the world. We’re getting attacked at all ends. You’re here, you’re breathing and you matter.”
“This season’s theme is impregnating,” Moore said ‘Because we’re all waiting, like being pregnant to see what’s going to happen next.”
If you’ve been to outdoor performances before, perhaps you'll know each one has its own nuance. With this one, Ordway resident Jamecia Bennett appears for the grande finale in a limo. To say I was a surprise would be an understatement. Its nice to see the Ordway is having some fun, why not join them. The Cabaret’s final performance will be September 26th, so get your tickets soon.
I've never been to an outdoor performance like this one before. it's mostly too hot here most of the year to do anything outdoors.
