Theatre: The Dolls of New Albion

The Dolls of New Albion11068203_10205234286870280_620038775_oBefore seeing The Dolls of New Albion I was given a few vague descriptions about the show being something about punk goth voodoo dolls. If you’ve got a quizzical look on your face right now, same: I was very confused. To be honest, it’s really hard to describe this musical because it is so unique; I have never seen anything else like it before. The show is a story within a story about a doll’s life showing the many tragedies of living a life that is misunderstood, and unaccepted by society. This tale is told –sung rather, by nine talented vocalists accompanied by a live band (right?! How cool is that?!). Everything about the show was really intricate, and well thought-out: from the circus-themed set, the charming costumes and makeup, to the tarot card themed headshots.11033910_10205234286430269_1269692171_o11070297_10205235821748651_1754968204_oThe Dolls of New Albion, directed by Jacob Millar, plays out of the Rotunda Theatre in Theological Hall March 19th to the 22nd with evening shows at 8:00pm as well as two matinees on the Saturday and Sunday. I found the show quite delightful. The debut performance in North America, The Dolls of New Albion is very much worth seeing: an entertaining show filled with song, dance, and spectacle.Yours Creatively,Leandra Guillet, Online ContributorPhotographs: Leandra GuilletLeandra is a MUSE Layout Executive and is doing hair and make up for The Dolls of New Albion.
