"EVERYTHING NEW is OLD AGAIN"
Bernstein's MASS and Schoenberg&Boublil's Les Misérables 2014 has been the season of reunions. First performing the role of The Celebrant in Leonard Bernstein's epic theater piece, MASS, for the composer's 70th Birthday Gala at The Tanglewood Festival in 1988, Douglas Webster returned to the role on August 8th, 2014 for a fully staged production at the Birgitta Music Festival in Tallinn, Estonia. Prior to this, a revisiting of Les Misérables for a co-production with The Arkansas Repertory Theater and Phoenix Theatre. It seems that doing the same thing for over twenty-five years, one either gets much worse or much better at that thing. Here's hoping it was the latter.
