Here's my account of the first of the five finals played in July 2022. It might have been the biggest of them all.

Monday, September 12: UFO, “When It’s Time to Rock”
R.I.P. Paul “Tonka” Chapman (1954-2020)
“When It’s Time to Rock” was a natural concert opener, being the hardest rocking number on Making Contact and at least partially recalling UFO’s glory days.

Meanwhile, the long-suffering and ever-steady Andy Parker and Neil Carter held down the fort with charging drums and keyboards that, while admittedly a bit cheesy, felt natural to the closing minutes. “When It’s Time to Rock” was something of a last hurrah for UFO, as they would never sound quite like this ever again, even with all the different lineups and reunions.

Staged adaptations of novels usually don’t end up working well as they are clunky at best and downright tedious at worst. Thankfully, the staged version of Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye is one of the few works that so vividly brings the novel’s words to life, thanks to the fine adaptation of Lydia R. Diamond. It is with great pleasure that under the superb direction of Andi Chapman, the newest…
