KVETCH (3 videos)…

Here are three videos from KVETCH, my Electro-Pop Lip-Sync Operusical.

It was based on Steven Berkoff’s play, and directed, designed & composed by myself.

The characters sang everything that they felt they could not say out loud. They sang their kvetches.

The choreography was by Rebecca Siegel.

The only color in the set was the cleaning products lining the towers under fluorescent lights and the sponges used as food. There was also plenty of gold beyond the knee pads, including a brightly glowing golden kitchen sink.

These are videos of three of the songs from the show, and I’ll put a description before each one. (they are not in show order)

The best way to watch these (although you certainly can watch them here) is to click on the YouTube page link that i will place under each video, and then click on “Watch In High Quality” (which is right under “Views” on the YouTube page).

This first one is Donna (the wife charcter) singing about her frustrations with her sex life. She begins this song after a failed attempt at sex with her husband Frank. The golden-knee-pad-clad chorus provides a bit of heat (especially at 3:31 in the video). (recorded singer = Alana Yurkanin)

The next is Frank (the husband) singing about his desire for his wife and mother-in-law to just “Shut Up”. (recorded singer = John Zirkle)

This third video is of an unspoken quarrel between Frank and George (a fellow salesman). (recorded singers = Adam Stone & John Zirkle)
