MUSIC WORCESTER PRESENTS GERSHWIN’S ‘PORGY AND BESS’ BY PHYLLIS NORDSTROM

Posted by & filed under News.

Goodness and Evil were portrayed magnificently by Patrick Blackwell as “Porgy”, and Phillip Boykin as “Crown”. While wondering why these two men weren’t performing with the Met, they were clearly the cornerstone of quality to this production. Not only in voice but in acting skill, these two formidable foes were so convincing that during the curtain call “Crown” was loudly booed by the audience. Evidence that he had done his job well, Phillip Boykin broke into a broad grin.
