Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty's new musical, The Glorious Ones, is a funny and touching paean to actors. The show is set in 16th century Italy when companies of vagabond performers toured the cities and countrysides improvising scenarios of heightened humor and bawdy physical comedy that became known as commedia dell'arte. It was a time when actors reigned supreme. The leader of The Glorious Ones troupe, Flaminio Scala, a real historical figure portrayed with wonderful panache and pathos by Marc Kudisch, reigned over them all for a short time. Many of our most beloved modern comic performers from Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Lucille Ball and Milton Berle to Jim Carey, Robin Williams and even The Simpsons are descended from the traditions of Renaissance commedia dell'arte.
