Change plans, cancel plans, just get there for this resounding success
As a reader of this theater review, you have every right to expect it to provide you with a clear description of what the play Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812, now at the Great Lakes Theater, is all about. Unfortunately, this electric, immersive, and constantly astounding theatrical experience frequently defies easy explanation.
The infectiously upbeat"Prologue" tips you off to the style of the piece as it provides a warning about the show's content:"Gonna have to study up a little bit/If you wanna keep with the plot/'Cause it's a complicated Russian novel/Everyone's got nine different names/So look it up in your program.
This makes it easier to follow the storyline as Natasha is introduced to Russian-style decadence at the Opera and then a costume ball where Muscovites cut loose like club kids pumped up on too much vodka and whatever the 19th century version of poppers was. But nothing will prepare you for the entrance of Balaga , the troika driver who absconds with the play for a few minutes as he bellows his presence, celebrating gypsies and orgies, boozing and fighting.
