The Hazards of Musicals
A team at McGill Players meets a challenge
by Byron Toben
First off, in musical song, I'm your basic Berlin-Gershwin-Porter-Weill kinda guy. I had not even heard of The Decemberists, an indie-folk group which surfaced around 2001. So I was a blank slate when I went to see The Hazards of Love, one of their titles, around which McGill students Charles Harries and James Hugh Keenan Campbell have constructed a folk opera.
