infamous

Drew Carey and Shakespeare are two names that I never would have thought I would hear in the same sentence, but here they are.  It was announced this morning on the AP wire that Carey would be narrating Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Cleveland Orchestra.  He will be accompanied by the Cleveland Orchestra who will be playing the concerto.  The performance will be this Saturday, July 26th at 8:00PM, according to the Blossom Music Festival website.

I do hope that the Cleveland Orchestra has put in adequate rehearsal time with Carey, as his usual schtick would make an evening of Shakespeare as confusing as watching a dull and muddy-mettled rascal wrestle with a small grey coated gnat.  I will look for some reviews in the days to come, and we shall see how well he is received.
