A few pleasures can be found, however, in between the many, many songs
Who doesn't like a good space yarn? As the recent Apple TV series"For All Mankind" has shown, there's a galaxy of good stories to be told about the people who yearn to reach for the stars.
The story is built around Alex, a trailer park custodian who fixes the residents' leaky pipes with duct tape and bubble gum. But his real passion, along with racking up big scores on the park's Starfighter arcade game console and canoodling with his best girl Maggie , is to dream"to be as far away from here as possible."
From there, this adaptation of Jonathan Betuel's screenplay, with book by Fred Landau and music and lyrics by Skip Kennon, lurches from one plot point to another, dispensing with promising story threads as it reaches for the conclusion and Alex's ultimate destination. Those disappointing ditties could perhaps be rescued by a stellar group of singers. But this cast under the musical direction of Bradley Wyner appears incapable of carrying a tune without smashing into sharps and flats at every turn. Okay, not the whole cast: Lang, Fancher, and especially Ray have some lovely melodic moments. It is important to note that the rest of the 14-person singing-challenged cast, who will go mercifully unnamed here, are not at fault.
