'Hunter' sings the eerie hymns of a perverted soul -

Hi room.
This is Brian Noonan...The Preacher in Stephen Cole and
Claibe Richardson's Night of the Hunter. I just wanted to
write in and encourage theater audiences to see this new
kind of musical that is very much off the beaten path of
your conventional Broadway Musical. I feel incredibly
fortunate to sing this lush score and amazing book, and
to be a part of another production with the amazingly talented
Stephen Cole. I would love to hear back from audiences
who have the seen the show and hope to see it.
Thanks,
Brian Noonan

Thanks for your kind words Mussetta.
This role is certainly is a dream role
for any singer, and I hope to continue to bring
new things to the table. If you make it back sometime,
stop by and say hi at the stage door.
Brian
P.S. Keep the word out there about the show!

Brian,
I saw "Night of the Hunter" on Saturday night, and was quite impressed! Your performance was so powerful and, well...brilliant. You are just the ideal actor for the part of the preacher. In fact, the entire company was extremely well cast. I was especially taken by the little girl who plays Pearl (I'm sorry that I don't remember her name). It was amazing to see a child so young turn in such a complete performance.

I don't agree with the Chronicle's view of the score...I thought it was rich and a perfect vehicle in telling the story. The closing of the first act was very powerful, both the music and the lighting effects.

There is another review at:

I suspect that good things are in store for this show. I know that I plan to see it again in a couple of weeks.

Hmmm...it might be time for a road trip up to Northern CA...

I realized this morning that the link I posted yesterday is actually quite a spoiler. Even though it is a good review of the show (the headline is "'Night's' bright future"), it gives away the entire plot. So, if you haven't seen the movie and want to add to the suspense of the show, I'd wait to read the CC Times review until after you see it. Sorry not to mention this in my first post!
