The Band’s Visit
Touring Company in San Francisco
By: - Jan 14th, 2022The biggest star of The Band's Visit is the music. Lyrics in the sung songs are witty and divulging, and the accompanying music is pleasant throughout, with eclectic influences from American pop to klezmer to bossanova. Some of the stylings are a little rough, which at first may suggest poor casting, but on further consideration, less than perfect renditions work well. After all, the characters represented are not singers, they are working class.
