California Dreamin': World Premiere Play About Charles Manson
- Full Price:
- $20.00
- Our Price:
- FREE - $10.00
Jill Charlotte Thomas' new play California Dreamin' explores the events leading up to the Manson family murders of 1969 and suggests a friendship between Charles Manson and coffee heiress and murder victim Abigail Folger. This alternative theory of what led up to the brutal attacks on 10050 Cielo Drive suggests that the killings may not have entirely random, that the attackers may have known their victims and that there was a cover-up to protect Folger's reputation. MET Artistic Director L. Flint Esquerra directs the production. Learn More

As this was my 4th time seeing this production , I felt that the production held rue to its script and that the actors were very good and convincing. I felt the actress that play the "Fräulein Schneider ' was excellent. The pre show of the Kit Kat performers coming out to the audience was entertaining and engaging.Written on Jul 12 2009
I felt the set could been more involved. I realized that this is small theater but the set looked a bit high schoolish and would have been nice to see more detail to the genre.
The production served its purpose to tell the story and as I have seen other production pinpoint the theme to the intensity of discrimination, I felt something lacking in this play. I felt their could have been more creativity to relate the moral in a present day audience

A really fun performance with a lot to offer, yet still it had it its flaws.Written on Jul 05 2009
For those of you expecting the Joel Grey Cabaret of the 60s, be aware that this production closely follows the Sam Mendes version from 10 years ago, which mixes songs from the original musical and the movie, and changes plot elements a bit such as making the protagonist a confused bisexual. Thus the addition of the new Kit Kat Boys is entirely appropriate. My 12 year old daughter enjoyed dancing with them during the Entr'acte.
The Emcee was the featured performer, and he had just the right mixture of naughtiness and humor, nicely interacting with the front rows. However, if I were his acting coach, I would tell him to stop yelling so much, and play the part with a bit more finesse. The other cast standouts were the actors playing Cliff Bradshaw, who brought a fragile sincerity to the role, and Herr Schulz, who was so believable yet unpretentious it made me wish that the role's signature number. "Meeskite", was dropped in this version. However the actress playing Sally Bowles did not really hold up to the rigors of the part - she seemed more of a supporting cast member than star material, with neither the full-on singing or acting chops required.
Finally, as to the storied Cabaret Table seating, it really depends on which table you get. About half of the tables are front row and wonderful. The other half are off to the side, and not the best view. And as to the tables in front of the band, I don't see how anyone would want to be that close to the instruments! The tables are assigned seating, whereas the rest of the auditorium is General admission, so your best bet on getting a good seat is NOT to pay the extra for the tables.

I thought the setting and the look was less hollywood than the movie and had elements of realism probably more historically accurate to a seedy cabaret. That being said the rest of the performance left me a bit flat. I think that the performances of Joel Grey, Liza Minelli and Bob Fossie's choreography are a very difficult act to follow. I felt that rather than make the performance theirs they were trying to imitate the prior acts and did a poor job of it. The MC overdid it as did some of the rest of the cast it felt so "in your face" and rather than the inuendo of the dynamic sexual tension of the movie, it was just boring! Like a bunch of old hookers in a seedy cabaret!Written on Jul 25 2009
