As she does most every Thursday on Midday, veteran theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom in the Midday studio, this week with her review of The Wild Party, the latest production by Iron Crow Theatre company, now on stage at the Theatre Project. The musical is based on a lusty -- and lengthy --narrative poem from the 1920s by a writer named Joseph Moncure March.
Iron Crow's script moves the action out of the 1920s and closer to present-day, and the music, too, is more contemporary. As Ms. Rousuck explains, this high-spirited musical also deals with some pretty contemporary themes.
The Iron Crow Theatre’s production of “The Wild Party” continues at the Theatre Project tonight through Sunday (Oct. 9).
