5f / Musical/ Unit SetUnlike most of the stage works about Gertrude and Alice 27 Rue de Fleurus is told from Alice's point of view. Gertrude grows tired of Alice's lack of panache for telling her perspective of their story and attempts to hijack the play as only the author of such lines as "sugar is not a vegetable" can. But Alice has secrets to share with the audience that silence the famously verbose Gertrude. This celebrated couple confronts each other about love marriage jealousy genius and a few other delicious topics while Pablo Picasso F. Scott Fitzgerald Mabel Dodge Sylvia Beach and even Jean Harlow drop by for a visit."27 Rue de Fleurus gets its sweetness from a genuine love of its subject the"marriage" of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. The music is well handledby John Bell; and the all-female cast sings excellently." - Village Voice"What we have here is a love story fraught with jealousy and passion like others but most of all it celebrates the incredible bond between two women whodecided to share their lives even during a time when it was relatively unheardof. That alone makes 27 Rue de Fleurus worth an evening of your time."- GO Magazine"Ms. Rosenblat who seated resembles portraits of Stein plays Gertrude asa commanding bully. And Ms. Stern's Alice is a bright attractive creature.("Everyone is entitled to a bit of fantasy " she says.) They're strong plausible performances." - NY Times"Credit Ted Sod and Lisa Koch writers of 27 Rue de Fleurus with the provocative notion of fashioning a revisionist musical from Alice B. Toklas' corrective version of her life with literary giant Gertrude Stein. Name-dropping opening number "Salon (Let's Talk)" sets the smart tone for the musical's mise en scene -- the Parisian apartment at 27 Rue de Fleurus where Gertrude (Barbara Rosenblat) and her companion Alice (Cheryl Stern) preside over a fashionable literary salon that attracts artists and writers of international renown as well as the occasional American feminist and Hollywood movie star. It's an inviting scene to be sure." - Variety
