Waiting for the Light to Shine

Don‘t Tell Mama, NYC, July 20, 2014

Lowe_Kristoffer500Waiting for the light to shine, courtesy of DTM reliable technical director Jason Ellis, I had the usual pre-debut show trepidation. Would Waiting for the Light to Shine with newbie Kristoffer Lowe be likeable or, like many first-timers, would he prove to be rather trying—trying too hard to prove belting ability, hard-to-bear soul-bearing oversharing? No worries. The perky, quirky opening bit contrasts confidence with inner conflicts, letting spectators take a shine to him immediately. He sparkles. It’s clear that his clear, musical theater-savvy tenor voice is rock-solid: big, bright, warm, instead of brassy. With brio, grinning, he’s winning with nutty novelties (DeSylva/ Brown/Henderson’s “Never Swat a Fly”). Sweet, sustained high notes are glorious and nothing heartfelt remains unexpressed in “Unexpressed” (John Bucchino).

The Alabama transplant can disarmingly transport us via vocal beauty, yet transmit self-deprecation and self-knowing Southern charm.

His own parody lyrics about therapy are flip and fun.

Buoyant and blithe, winking or wistful, he refreshingly radiates sincerity and the Lowe know-how is “pow”!

Very present are pianist Carl Danielsen (an attentive, beaming collaborator) and top bassist-guitarist Matt Scharfglass. Directed by Lennie Watts, the well-shaped set is already-set-go glide. Put the Lowe show high on the Must-See List.

Rob Lester

2015 is native New Yorker Rob Lester's eighth year as contributing writer, beginning by reviewing a salute to Frank Sinatra, whose recordings have played on his personal soundtrack since the womb. (His Cabaret Scenes Foundation member mom started him with her favorite; like his dad, he became an uber-avid record collector/ fan of the Great American Songbook's great singers and writers.) Soon, he was attending shows, seeking out up-and-comers and already-came-ups, still reading and listening voraciously. He also writes for www.NiteLifeExchange.com and www.TalkinBroadway.com, has been cabaret-centric as awards judge, panel member/co-host, and produces benefit/tribute shows, including one for us.
