Concert Review: Puddles Pity Party — It’s His Party, and He Will Cry If He Wants To

An exhilarating and entertaining evening with Puddles, a most personable and unique clown.

This is sweet and haunting music; and, like rose oil, it lingers.

The Boston Camerata’s lucid production placed emphasis on music and movement and a chiaroscuro-inspired use of light and shadow.
