“WORLD GOES ‘ROUND” SHINES AT MARRIOTT!

Evoking the essence of one of Kander and Ebb’s most iconic ballads, the return of live theatre at Marriott Lincolnshire began as a quiet thing at the opening of “The World Goes ‘Round” on Wednesday night. There in the dim haze of a ghost light is revealed a massive, distressed stage theatre drape wrapped around a baton among abandoned set pieces, props and the remnants of a hasty exit and another time that seems so long ago. A stage trunk awaits at center stage. A stairway system at the head of one aisle. The remains of a piano that has seen better days in another. Chandeliers lofted high above the stage almost out of view.
