It was September, 2007 and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.actingupstage.com\/\">Acting Up Stage<\/a> was having their annual Toronto Musical Theatre Stars Sing Songs from Legendary Pop Culture Phenomenons Evening of Song and so Thom Allison was singing songs of the Beatles. I was \u201cjust off the boat,\u201d as they say; my life in Toronto had barely started, as a matter of fact, I consider this evening to be the very moment that my life, my career, my love of Toronto, first began to bloom. With uncharacteristic panache (clearly swept up in my excitement for the new life I was obviously seizing by the horns) I went up to Thom Allison after the performance and said to him, \u201cWow! You should have \u201cSuperstar\u201d tattooed across your forehead!\u201d (right!?) And thus, my love affair with Thom Allison began.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was bittersweet, then, to be in the audience for his most recent show, last night at Tallulah\u2019s Cabaret at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buddiesinbadtimes.com\/\">Buddies in Bad Times Theatre<\/a>, as it was a fond farewell for Thom to the city where he has lived and built a illustrious, rich and brightly inspirational life and career since moving here from Winnipeg to attend Ryerson in 1987 (when he was six). It is disheartening, of course, to see Thom go, he is such a radiant talent to behold, a warm, sweet, generous and vibrant member of our community, but it is all these things that have led to him embarking on this exciting new adventure, performing on Broadway with <em>Priscilla Queen of the Desert<\/em>. I know that he will make us all proud in this next chapter of his career.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">His cabaret began with a Gershwin tune \u201cA Foggy Day (in Toronto Town),\u201d a jazzy and smooth ode to our fair city. A bit of Judy Garland followed with \u201cLose that Long Face\u201d a brassy number written to be tap danced to, which lifted the whole energy of the room, although my favourite moment was his allusion to the forced rhyme of \u201cvac-cu-um,\u201d which really does beg for an eyebrow raise. He then sang the gorgeous powerhouse ballad \u201cA Lovely Day to Be Out of Jail\u201d from Cy Coleman\u2019s <em>The Life<\/em>, which is one of my favourite songs that he sings. It always makes me think of what Tom Joad would sing if <em>Grapes of Wrath<\/em> were a musical and Thom captures that same rugged simplicity of walking freely into the world so perfectly. <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Special Guest Sara Farb sang an uncharacteristic Rodgers and Hart tune, \u201cMy Funny Valentine\u201d an old faithful standard in a sultry legit voice that harkened back to a more soulful and genuine time. Thom returned with \u201cShe Touched Me\u201d from <em>Drat! The Cat!,<\/em> a joyful, rejoicing type number typical of musicals of its time and then hit us with a blissful rendition of Steven Schwartz\u2019s \u201cLost in the Wilderness\u201d which I\u2019m pretty sure made the hearts of the entire sum of the theatre simultaneously turn to strawberry jelly. Thom is particularly talented at his ending notes, which always soar with an intensity that threatens to sweep up the breaths of everyone in its path. He then sang \u201cI\u2019d Rather Be Sailing\u201d from <em>A New Brain<\/em>, and in my opinion, Thom\u2019s is the definitive rendition of this song. Whenever he begins, it seems so effortless, as though William Finn wrote it expressly for him. It is the song that you want to curl up inside of and stay there for the whole winter.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thom was accompanied in his Cabaret by the very talented young Chris Tsujiuchi, who performed his piano rendition of \u201cHit Me Baby One More Time\u201d which keeps reminding me that any song can be made to sound heart rending, it is all in the way that it is performed. Thom returned with \u201cGorgeous\u201d from <em>The Apple Tree<\/em>, which he sings with delicious exuberance, while showing off his dreaminess, laughing maniacally and hitting a sky scraping note at the end. \u201cBeing Alive\u201d ended the first act, inspiring the thought that I would love to see Thom play Bobby in <em>Company<\/em> someday. The second act began with a haunting rendition of \u201cThe Meadowlark\u201d and the beautiful ballad \u201cWho Can I Turn To?\u201d which showed off his lower register deliciously. Gavin Crawford then joined us and treated us to his impeccable and uproarious Rufus Wainwright impression and introduced us to Wainwright\u2019s new album, \u201cChristmas Carols for Atheists\u201d which is comprised of parodies of Christmas songs with lyrics that reflect the Age of Not Believing. I was floored by the detail of Crawford\u2019s performance and delighted by the pastiche of it all. I was delighted that Thom sang \u201cThe Trolley Song\u201d from <em>Meet Me in St. Louis<\/em>, which is one of the first songs I heard him sing in Cabaret. George Masswohl came to the stage and sang a heartbreaking rendition of \u201cSend in the Clowns\u201d in memory of Goldie Semple, who starred with him and Thom in <em>A Little Night Music<\/em> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shawfest.com\/\">Shaw Festival<\/a> in 2008. Many have asked Sondheim what this song \u201cmeans\u201d but I will tell you, that is all&nbsp;immediately clear in the dexterous hands of George Masswohl.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rounding out the cabaret was an exquisite rendition by Thom of the Shirley Bassey tune \u201cThe Living Tree,\u201d Harold Arlen\u2019s \u201cA Sleepin\u2019 Bee,\u201d which I think is a lovely twin performance to Audra Mcdonald\u2019s version on her album, very similar, yet strikingly different. Sharron Matthews came up for the eleven o\u2019clock number which was undoubtedly her epic one woman &#8220;Bohemian Rhapsody&#8221;, which is a self-contained show all unto itself. She sings parts of it with all the intensity of Fantine from <em>Les Miserables<\/em>, erupts into opera rock superstardom and pulls out all the diva stops, it\u2019s no wonder it\u2019s Thom Allison\u2019s favourite thing. The ending of the cabaret was heartfelt and sweet, but in no way saccharine, just a lovely rich voice floating overhead and wafting, drifting slowly beyond all of us into the night.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">I will miss Thom Allison. I will miss his infectious smile, his exuberant \u201cseize the moment and revel in it\u201d laughter, which only intensifies when the theatre gods play their tricks, and most of all the warmth that emanates from him that has blanketed this community in acceptance, inspiration and love since good fortune brought him our way in the first place. I know New York will fall in love with him just as hard as we all have and I for one can\u2019t wait to see what happens next.<\/div>\n<h4>Incoming search terms:<\/h4><ul><li>regan thiel<\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>thom allison I vividly remember the first time I met<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4671],"tags":[3537,5982,5980,4818,5984,5985,5981,4404,5983,4235,5224,4213,5979,5978,4291],"class_list":["post-566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-review","tag-buddies-in-bad-times-theatre","tag-chris-tsujiuchi","tag-cy-coleman","tag-gavin-crawford","tag-george-masswohl","tag-goldie-semple","tag-lorenz-hart","tag-richard-rodgers","tag-rufus-wainwright","tag-sara-farb","tag-stephen-schwartz","tag-stephen-sondheim","tag-tallulahs-cabaret","tag-thom-allison","tag-william-finn"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thom Allison is Sailing Away - The Way I See It Theatre &amp;
