THEATER REVIEW: ‘Rebel Town: The Boston Tea Party Musical’ plays at the Duffin Theater in Lenox Memorial High School through Aug. 18
Rebel Town Productions LLC and Jennifer McMahon in Lenox. In 1773, a group of Bostonians boarded a British ship in their harbor disguised as Mohicans and dumped chests of tea into the water in protest of “taxation without representation,” destroying the revenue of the East India Company and the tax base of mother Britain. This personal act was considered to be an act of treason and was one of the inspirations for the War of Independence which followed less than three years later. In reaction to the Tea Act of 1767, which imposed a 25 percent tax on tea, coffee became the preferred hot drink of the colonists. These facts are the inspiration for John Alan Segalla’s new musical, ”Rebel Town: The Boston Tea Party Musical,” now on stage at the Duffin Theater in Lenox Memorial High School. The nearly three-hour show is overwritten and ultimately just a bit boring, with 28 songs that sound too much alike and don’t give you a single tune to hum as you leave the room.
