Summer, the Broadway musical, gets an 8
rating. Though the storyline is weak, the vocal performances are superb and
make the show worth attending. Summer brings back memories of the late 1970s
and the early 1980s, reminding the audience of the extraordinary music of the Disco
Queen. It was impossible to keep still as the vocalists sang Summer’s many
hits. I left the show wondering what it
would be like to see a similar musical with the music of Etta James, Ruth
Brown, Dionne Warwick, Whitney Houston, and the one that is being planned for
Michael Jackson. `The shows would all be great if the storylines are
well-written and keep focused on the great music.
