Wallach Does Sondheim
Wallach does Sondheim? I'm not referring to me, but to that tall and talented Wallach -- my nephew Tyler, the one who can sing and dance and act. Last weekend I had the pleasure of seeing him star as Robert in Stephen Sondheim's "Company" at Texas State University-San Marcos. I hadn't seen the play in years, so I came at it fresh, and thoroughly enjoyed the Saturday closing performance at TSU's outdoor Glade Theatre.
The topic, being single in New York, resonated with me from my younger days of being, well, single in New York in the 1980s. And the songs are unforgettable: "Sorry-Grateful" (boy, did that bring up some feelings), "Marry Me a Little," "The Ladies Who Lunch" (with a spine-tingling performance by Lindsay Hicks as Joanne) and the closing "Being Alive."
Tyler added Company to an already impressive resume, which includes The Rocky Horror Show (he was Brad!), Move Over Mrs. Markham (Alistair) and A Chorus Line (Mike). As the doting uncle, I've already given him a permanent claim to space in my apartment when he comes to the Big Apple for auditions.
In the photo below, Tyler and delightfully bubbly cast member Macey Mayfield celebrate after the play. All I can think of now is the great line from 42nd Street:
"You're going out a youngster, but you've got to come back a star!"
