I would be hard pressed to name a musical that takes itself less seriously than “Xanadu,” which opened Thursday night at the NorShor Theatre. Especially the way director Phillip Fazio and choreographer Amber Burns amped up the silliness.
The quintessential scene of this production comes early when Quinn Lorez and Maddie Schafer as the Muses Melpomene and Calliope rip through “Evil Woman.” While Lorez delivers the big vocals, Schafer channels Kristen Wiig and Cecily Strong at the same time and kills the comic counterpoint.

It is certainly ironic that at opening night of “Age of Aquarius: The Music of Hair,” I saw more bare bottoms — of faces — than I have seen in person since the pandemic shut down the world. The Duluth Playhouse’s second mini-season offering at the NorShor Theatre saw more audience members wearing tie-dyed shirts than wearing masks.

Seeing an original cast member in a theatrical production is a rare occurrence outside of Broadway.
I saw Michael Crawford do “Phantom” in Los Angeles and Cherry Jones in “Doubt” in Minneapolis. On Saturday afternoon at the Depot, I added the name of Edward Tulane to that short but distinguished list.

In February 2018, the Duluth Playhouse heralded the rebirth of the NorShor Theatre with “Mamma Mia!”
Thursday night, performers Jen Burleigh-Bentz, Vicki Fingalson and Tanya Moore returned to that stage for “Dancing Queens: The Music of ABBA’s Mamma Mia!” to reopen the NorShor from its lengthy pandemic slumber for an audience happy to hoot and holler for an hour at every song they heard.
