Rousuck's Review: Olney's "Carmen" An Afro-Cuban Jazz Riff On Bizet's Classic

Carmen: An Afro-Cuban Jazz Musical, the world-premier production on stage now through March 6th at the Olney Theatre Center, takes Bizet's famous opera, which was set in 1820s Spain, and moves it to 1950s Cuba.  The result is a contemporary and politically resonant re-imagining of the classic love story.  Theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom in the studio to explain why this latest of many adaptations of the original opera is an artistic standout.
