Camp
|
|
At a summer camp for young Broadway musical aspirants, several young kids and their counselors work out their troubles - Michael, the young gay kid with a crush on his straight roommate; Vlad, the golden boy harboring a secret; Fritzi, the obsessive fan of the glamour girl who turns "Fatal Attraction" on the object of her affection; Jenna, who wires her jaw shut to avoid "fat camp," and Bert, the aging songwriter embittered by his failures.
"Camp" is such a great, feel-good film! It's not completely flawless -- the editing is a little sharp in places, the writing rings a few false notes, and the actors' miss their comedic timing in several places. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed it and definitely plan to add it to my collection.
My grade: A -
Fans of "Camp" in New York can see Sasha Allen (Dee) in the off-Broadway production of bare, a pop opera, a spectacular show following the lives of several teens coming of age in a Catholic boarding school. The current production closes on May 27th, but the show will return in September. For more information about this show, please visit the official website or The Bares, the official fan site.
