Monáe takes her artistic contribution a step further in the night's standout piece "fly the bird bath." The silky-voiced singer dances a duet with Tara Lee, the muse and soloist of "big." Lee's role is a bit ambiguous, but the contrast is hilarious. Monáe's "Sincerely Jane" is a rousing yet soulful song full of rhythmic bursts she highlights with kicks or a mocked ballet posture.
All in all, the verdict is that the odd show was a "breath of fresh air," and if I had any plans to be in Atlanta before the end of <>big's run I would try to snag a ticket. It's certainly not something you see everyday. [AJC]
