Years ago I saw Jim Morrison perform live as a member of The Doors. His
powerful and compelling image is still seared onto my brain synapses.
Last week I saw Morrison again -- live on stage. This time it was in
Gary Flaxman's "Swimming To The Moon". Sure it was not the real Lizard
King on the stage -- but actor Damon Shalit was channeling the
incredibly unpredictable energy and spirit of Jim. The rest of the
excellent ensemble cast was very ably directed by Judy Rose in what
seemed a flawless performance. This is no trite dead rock star story
but a multi-layered stage production that challenges what we all
believed to be the truth.
