6th Street scores with ‘Illyria’ BY HARRY DUKE
I
n a world of musicals based on movies and TV shows, why not Shakespeare? Such is Illyria, a musical adaptation of Twelfth Night first produced Off-Broadway in 2002 and now running at 6th Street Playhouse. Don’t let the words “Shakespeare” and “musical” alarm you. Peter Mills, who wrote Illyria’s book and score, takes the plotline of this 17th-century comedy, modernizes its speech and time period, sets it to music and come ups with a terrifically entertaining piece of theater. Shakespeare’s tale involves shipwrecked and separated twins Viola (Carmen Mitchell)

Impersonation, mistaken identity, gender confusion and trickery all come into play before things get sorted out and everyone T R A NS C E N DE N C E ’ S ends up with his or her intended. More than the usual suspension of belief is required in a couple of areas. One must accept Ms. Mitchell being regularly mistaken I N S ON OM A VA L L E Y for a male, and Ms. Hinman is a more mature Olivia than one BROADWAY PERFORMERS ON THE MOST JUN-SEP usually sees in the role, but just go with it.
