THEATER REVIEW: Elizabeth Ward Land tests out ‘Moondance’ for a three-show run at the Mac-Haydn Theatre
Mac-Haydn Theatre in Chatham, N.Y. Elizabeth Ward Land’s newest cabaret show, “Moondance,” is very special indeed. It is all about the moon. She is trying it out at the Mac-Haydn Theatre for a three-performance run, and it is over. It is a pity you can’t see it—a genuine pity for the show is remarkable and the singer/storyteller is remarkably brilliant. If we are lucky, and I mean really lucky, the theater will find a way to bring the show back at the end of the season. I would gladly see it again. She doesn’t just sing; she instructs us in moon lore, moon history, and the scientific ramifications of the eight phases of the moon. You are entertained, educated, and enlightened in 90 minutes of shimmering entertainment.
