Last night at Queen Street Playhouse, the Footlight Players opened their new production of “The Legend of Georgia McBride” written by Matthew Lopez and directed by Kyle Barnette.
A strong indicator of an excellent piece of live theater is
the traditional standing ovation, but when the theater is so electrified you
can feel the positive power of love and excitement with the cheers, screams,
singing and glowing vibes, you realize you have something special.
This is something special.
At its core, “The Legend of Georgia McBride” is a love story. Love for family, dreams, passion, acceptance,
and the celebration of life. Though it
is structured in two-acts, this play takes on four unique journeys through the articulate
direction of Kyle Barnette. Over the
course of this 90-minute production, you will see the struggles of young lovers,
risks of sacrifice, passion and self-discovery and finally concluding with a jubilee
of love, inclusion, and family.
Casey is played remarkably by Charleston newcomer Brandon
Chinn transforming both physically and deep in the heart of his soul. His portrayal of a passionate
singer/songwriter, Elvis Impersonator, drag queen, impending father and local
townie struggling with to find his own identify with done with poise, charm, and
incredibly timed humor. On stage, Brandon shined through expressive
non-spoken acting sequences that left the crowd going wild. His internal struggles between his two lives
finally coming together were one was well crafted.
Imani Lloyd, plays Casey’s beautiful wife whose performance
was relatable to so many in the audience dealing with the financial struggles
of livability and realities of starting a family. Lloyd maneuvered her way through her own emotions
with strength and compassion. Her style
had a natural glow that lit up the stage.
To say that Jackson Clark Haywood, who plays Miss Tracy
Mills, could own the stage with every scene, would be an understatement. Jackson became the persona of Miss Tracy
Mills from the attitude to the outfits.
Even through all the flamboyant scenes, there was an unmistakable charm
you could not help but gravitate towards.
Bravo to Miss Tracy Mills.
Chad Estel plays Eddie, the owner and operator of Cleo’s
Bar, a down on its luck nightclub in the heart of Panama City Beach, who in a
time of desperation, finds a savior in Miss Tracy Mills, Rexy and Georgia. Chad is truly at his most comfortable as a
greedy, desperate bar owner with a heart of gold. Each scene he was in was filled with awkward
beauty and we loved it.
Finally, the chameleon Matthew Lombardo who had the dubious task
of playing a drunk drag queen (Rexy) and a landlord with low self-esteem with a
kind soul. If you didn’t read this and saw
the show, you wouldn’t even realize it was the same actor who played both parts. Matthew pushed the limits on how far you can
take a character, but when Rexy gives Casey a speech about accepting who you
are, homophobia, the dark struggles of coming to terms with your true self and
the calling of a drag queen, the audience was pulled it. It was a riveting scene that tied the entire
core of the show together.
“The Legend of Georgia McBride” is hysterical! It is filled with the elements of wit, charisma,
passion, love, hope and struggle. What
truly makes this a performance worth seeing is the balance. At times you will feel empathy, cute spurts
of love, excitement, joy and ultimately a deeper understanding of the
universalness of dreaming and how love can carry that so much further in life.
Go see “The Legend of Georgia McBride”. It may be the most fun you will have at the
theater. After all we have been through,
we need that.

WalletHub has released the findings on the Happiest Cities in the United States for 2022. Below is a list of the top cities and the methodology behind the research findings.
This year, Charleston, South Carolina came in as the 26th Happiest City in the U.S. The only other South Carolina city to make the list was Columbia, SC at #77.
Check out below to find out why.
Methodology
In order to determine the happiest cities in America, WalletHub compared 182 of the largest cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across three key dimensions: 1) Emotional & Physical Well-Being, 2) Income & Employment and 3) Community & Environment.
We evaluated these categories using 30 relevant metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing maximum happiness. Data for metrics marked with an asterisk (*) were available only at the state level.
We then determined each city’s weighted average across all metrics to calculate its overall score and used the resulting scores to rank-order our sample.
Our analysis draws upon the findings of the following research, each
of which has indicated a correlation between our data and happiness:

At the public execution, Lavinia screamed her infamous last words: “If you have a message you want to send to Hell, give it to me; I’ll carry it,” then, before the executioner could hang her, she jumped– taking her final moments into her own hands. And that is the tale of America’s first murderess.
