MISSED CONNECTIONS: A CRAIGSLIST MUSICAL is a work of extreme musicality. Veda Hille, Bill Richardson, and Amiel Gladstone came up with the innovative and totally off-the-wall concept of putting actual Craigslist advertisements to music. From the standard “looking for a roommate” and the eternal search for love to the more bizarre 300 stuffed penguins and basket of decapitated dolls, there seems to be a song for everything - some hilarious and some poignant, some both. Against an amazingly eclectic set by Josh Iacovelli, clever lyrics and creative choreography by Amy Hall Garner add to the fun. And enough can’t be said about the talented cast – Jane Bruce, Brandon Ellis, Morgan Siobhan Green, Jamie Pittle, Shawn Platzker, and Debbie Tjong. They sing, they dance, and they play a multitude of instruments.

Here’s where age (mine) comes in. With so many positive aspects, this should be a winner with a capital W. I just wasn’t able to connect with the frivolity and absurdity of some of the ads. And maybe it’s because I’ve never even seen Craigslist, let alone used it (my only familiarity with it is the Craigslist Killer). However, I bet there are generations of folks out there who will find MISSED CONNECTIONS a hysterical and believable rendering of the popular advertising venue. The bottom line is that Craigslist users are hoping for a connection; and their services, goods and needs make great fodder for a musical.
