The Rapture


Every Day Rapture was Sherie Rene Scott's past engagement with Second Stage Theatre.

A show featuring song by U2, Judy Garland and Time Rice- Elton John among others, tells her story of growing up as a half mennonite in Kansas, her two greatest loves: Jesus and Judy and her coming to New York and becoming a "semi star" or so she says (a full broadway star in many eyes of the theatre goers tough...) and a minor youtube mishap.

This is was more than a one woman show or a singer's cabaret, full of heart and with a good
story to be told, plus Ms Scott has a nice sense of herself and a good sense of humor about life.
I specially liked Tom Kitt's (Next To Normal) arrangements to the music, which gave the song a refreshing sound.

In the end I was able to have a few words with Ms Scott and she was delightful as her show, teaching me that we all can live our lives through a song.
