THEATER REVIEW: DREAM A LITTLE DREAM: THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS MUSICAL * * (2 stars out of 4).
External link:
Papa Denny Doherty more "hosts" than "stars" in this play. If what you want is a concert in which you here Doherty with some okay backup signers, then you'll get it. If what you want is a superficial, name-dropping, self-serving history of the Mama's and the Papa's, you'll get that. But, as a story, and as a musical, it falls very flat. It seems quite under-rehearsed. This seems deliberate, to create a sense of casualness and intimacy, but, to me, it created more of a sense of seeing something that was under-rehearsed. If you are really into the Mama's and the Papa's, then you should definitely check this out. But if, like me, you have only a passing interest in their music, you will find that they don't really have much of a story to tell. This is The Official Record.
