The highlight of the program was Amy Seiwert’s “Broken Open,” which stole the show when it premiered in Smuin’s 2015 season. The piece is a series of group, duet and solo sketches to music by experimental cellist Julia Kent. Seiwert makes ingenious use of slits in the black upstage curtain. As the lights come up at the start of the piece, dancers scuttle into the dark corners like insects, leaving a lone dancer on stage. At other times, dancers enter stealthily and leave again while our attention is elsewhere.

Because “Singin’” relies heavily on black-and-white video sequences (to emulate the 1920s when movies were in black-and-white, and most didn’t yet have sound), this musical needs top-notch film sequences. That it has, thanks to Tracy Martin and Sean Kana. The video segments function seamlessly and add another dimension to the show. (People such as fight choreographer Joshua Marx and musical director Murphy play bit parts in the filmed sequences.). It’s unfortunate that many scene changes aren’t as seamless. It’s as if director Alex Perez wasn’t able to figure out a way to unify this musical (though perhaps things will smooth out after a few more performances). Then, too, Kelly James Tighe’s set design doesn’t always jell, so that sometimes the stage looks as if it is “staged” rather than like a real room.
