Okay, so summer's starting a little bit ahead of schedule. But with the arrival of free summer concerts and events in May, what's a poor...literally poor...girl to do? Start summer early, that's what.
Day One: She Wolves
This proved to be somewhat disappointing. Perhaps, if I hadn't missed the first installment on Wednesday and then skipped out on Friday's this would have made more sense, but I'm not sure how. The idea was that there would be a colaboration of light, sound and water. Projections, music and....some kind of water. I figured hey--it's like a chromolume (Sunday in the Park with George Act II, anyone? No? okay then). So I head down to Battery Park and wind away through the scary late-night death-of-civilization financial district to get to Castle Clinton. The show was supposed to last I think an hour and I stayed maybe half an hour. It was simply disappointing. The projections were juvenile and poorly illustrated, the music never came on (instead we listened to the tour bus at the back of the castle revving up), and there was no water that anyone could see. Honestly, the best part of my evening was leaving She-Wolves and walking back through Battery Park and stumbling on a happy little fountain that looked like a faerie land.
