The World's Greatest Mime










Universally acclaimed as the world's greatest mime, Marcel Marceau makes the only New England appearance of his final national tour at RIC on March 14 and 15. Marceau's interest in mime began in his childhood, and has spanned a career of multiple mediums for over 50 years that has simply been called "genius." The San Francisco Chronicle calls him "The Essence of Theatre, The Soul of Dance."


I saw him perform in Chile a few years ago, and he's pretty amazing, even after all these years. While some of his material is a bit dated, he's still doing what nobody does better, and doing it beautifully. Even the sappiest and most sentimental and dated parts of his show are done with grace, style, and unbelievable soul. If there are still tickets, don't miss it!
