Tony Kushner's Adaptation of 17th Century Play The Illusion
- Full Price:
- $25.00
- Our Price:
- $10.00
With this modern reinvention, Tony Kushner (Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Angels in America) triumphantly reinvents L'illusion Comique,, the fascinating, theatrical fairy-tale first told by French classical dramatist Pierre Corneille more than 370 years ago. A father, on a mission to reunite with his estranged son, enlists the services of a powerful sorcerer who conjures up provocative images from the young man's life. The father is led deep into a maze of romance, intrigue, conspiracy, and murder. But just how much of it is true? Witty and profound, timely and transcendent, The Illusion weaves reality and truth with the magic of the theater. Learn More

Gartshore was, as always, humorous and charming and showed off his fantastic voice in songs ranging from the expected showtunes to more contemporary pop. His performances are not to be missed.Written on Mar 27 2012

Will is in fine form with this cabaret show. I have attended each of his cabarets at Roundhouse the last 3 yrs and he continues to be the consummate musical theatre vocalist. He instills in each song the exact emotions required, whether longing, love, tragedy or goofiness. Since Will stopped performing in musical theatre around town this is the only chance I get to see him live and I wouldn't miss it. I wish he would do a record of all the wonderful songs he performed in musical theatre.Written on Mar 21 2012

Last night's cabaret with Will Gartshore was the best $7.50 I ever spent on an evening in the theater--$15 would still have been a bargain! Gartshore devised a kind of autobiography in song--some clever rewrites of old standards, which were very amusing. The songs ranged from Noel Coward to Lady Gaga--something for everyone. He shared the stage with a young man, Ryan Fitzpatrick, whose voice and stage presence came close to eclipsing Gartshore every once in a while. All together a most enjoyable night.Written on Mar 20 2012

Quotes & Highlights
- “Smoldering and eclectic” with “sturdy, shimmery vocals, tight pacing and well-chosen material that, with help from the sparse, somewhat unorthodox instrumentation, Gartshore manages to bring new perspective to.” --The Washington Blade
