...Someone has to be lying. So Byck tried to kill the President.Rich wasn’t the only highlight. Steven A. Travierso ’09 was terrific as Lee Harvey Oswald, wringing a real character out of four and a half decades of speculation and myth-making. Sondheim??s theory is that Oswald had only planned to kill himself at the book depository that day. This may be a dumb idea, an example of Sondheim??s narrow-minded insistence on seeing almost everything as the product of personal trauma, but Travierso, his torso quaking beneath...

...consequences of cutting out much of the dancing for which the musical is so well known, but the Cabot House production of “West Side Story” at times fails to capture the underlying energy, passion, and physicality of Leonard Bernstein’s and Stephen Sondheim??s seminal work. Despite these drawbacks, individual actors are able to stand up in their own right. Directed and produced by Cabot House’s Assistant to the Masters Susan Livingston, “West Side Story” runs from April...
