It is clear that his 1998 musical <em>A New Brain<\/em>, now playing at the Berkeley Street Theatre Downstairs (produced by Acting Up Stage Theatre Company), is strongly autobiographical and I think, highly subjective. The result is a very quirky, often catchy, and at times strikingly poignant, trip inside the mind of protagonist Gordon Schwinn.<br \/>While watching this show, I wondered how much had been conceived while Finn was sitting in a hospital bed, sick, scared and drugged up on codeine. Just as Kander and Ebb turned the 1920s criminal justice system into a nightclub for <em>Chicago<\/em>, Finn also seems to be making the argument that \u201call the world\u2019s a stage\u201d and that it\u2019s \u201call show business, kid\u2026 the whole world, show business.\u201d The rhythms of the hospital mix with Gordon\u2019s hallucinations and fantasies and become production numbers. There are echoes of \u201cWe Both Reached for the Gun\u201d and \u201cThe Tango Maureen,\u201d which seem like just the sort of images that would haunt a Broadway aficionado\u2019s subconscious. When thrown together, along with the images of Mr. Bungee, Gordon\u2019s hateful boss, dressed as a giant frog, it becomes absurdist, but firmly rooted in heart and humanity. And oddly enough, it seems plausible because Gordon\u2019s brain is supposed to be running wild, and we\u2019re being taken along for the ride.<br \/>Steven Gallagher plays Gordon, a composer grudgingly writing songs for frogs on Mr. Bungee\u2019s Children\u2019s TV show, who uses music and art to propel himself through his harrowing near-death experience. Gallagher plays Gordon with a remarkable balance of impatience, snarkiness, vulnerability, humanity and likeability. He has a beautifully gripping moment where he confronts his mortality in \u201cIn the Middle of the Room,\u201d and he sells the odd (yet visually and musically fantastic) production numbers like \u201cGordo\u2019s Law of Genetics\u201d with his energy and the sense that he is conducting this show happening in his brain. There is a lovely moment at the end of the show where Gordon muses about how he is entirely different, and yet exactly the same, a contradiction of humanity that Gallagher nails perfectly.<br \/>I get the sense that the characters in <em>A New Brain<\/em> are constructed from Gordon\u2019s perspective, which means that they tend towards the general and vague. Gordon\u2019s boyfriend, Roger, for example, is the pinnacle paragon of perfection, while his mother\u2019s idea of Heaven is a date with Mr. Clean. But in the hands of this phenomenal cast, moments of eloquence keep shining through. Thom Allison has a show stopping moment with \u201cSailing,\u201d which shows off his gorgeous voice magnificently, and he and Paula Wolfson have a heart-wrenching duet \u201cA Really Lousy Day in the Universe.\u201d Wolfson also stops the show with her rendition of \u201cChange.\u201d Barbara Barsky shines particularly bright while singing \u201cThe Music Still Plays On.\u201d Patricia Zentilli gives such humanity to Rhoda, a character that is only really seen in snippets, and her rendition of the extremely peculiar \u201cWhenever I Dream,\u201d confirms my hunch that she can do anything. Steve Ross is most endearing as Richard \u201cthe nice nurse\u201d and has a star turn in the fantastic \u201cEating Myself Up Alive,\u201d which is one of the highlights of the show.<br \/>The direction by Daryl Cloran is particularly smooth and clear. He is able to give the audience a clearer picture of what is happening in real life, and what is the product of Gordon\u2019s imagination\/hallucination. The entire show seems to run simply and cleanly and the choreography by Marc Kimelman is lively, bright, charming and fun. I did feel that Juan Chioran as Mr. Bungee had found truly clever, funny moments that may have been overshadowed by his costume, and perhaps he would have been even funnier if his clothes had been more suggestive of a frog, rather than being so literal.<br \/><em>A New Br<\/em>ain may leave your mind spinning, the songs will undoubtedly stick in your brain (\u201cyes, yes, yes, is a good word. Yes, yes, yes is a very special word.), but at the end of the day, the image that stuck with me was one of joy, of hope, and of life. In his Programme Notes, Artistic Producer Mitchell Marcus quoted William Finn saying, \u201cat the piano, there was just all this gratitude that I was alive, and all this life spewing out of me,\u201d and this cast, especially Steven Gallagher, have this infectious, honest, joy about being on that stage and in this moment that is so palpable. I think it would be impossible for you to leave the Berkeley without your heart feeling a little lighter. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><em>A New Brain<\/em> plays until March 1st at the Berkeley Street Theatre Downstairs (26 Berkeley Street).
