Fringe review: ‘A Jingle Jangle Morning’ needs more jingle jangle

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:49:03 GMT

Could be worseWhen an inter-dimensional thief shrinks and steals the moon with the aim of liberating his home planet from a dictator, a Minneapolis teen accidentally returns with him to Somnia, a sleepless land of forced labor and tyrannical robots. Committed actors, fun special effects, strong musical transitions and creative props can’t quite make up for the convoluted plot and dialogue, which understate the premise — two moons are missing in two dimensions! — until almost the final scene. There’s not enough one-liners or dad jokes to make this a kiddie comedy, and the characters don’t play enough to the audience to fully engage. The program says the show is inspired by the imagery from Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man,” but a little more physical comedy (even a somersault or two), some script rewrite and a stronger, clearer ending would infuse some needed jingle jangle and make this space odyssey shine.Presented by Spektakular Theatre at Rarig Center; 7 p.m. Aug....

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:49:03 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Freddie Freeman hit a three-run homer and Amed Rosario and Mookie Betts also connected for the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers, who beat San Diego 8-2 on Sunday to spoil Rich Hill’s debut with the Padres. Lance Lynn (8-9) had an impressive second start for the Dodgers as they defeated the Padres for the seventh time in nine games this season and kept them from reaching .500 for the first time since May 11.Lynn allowed a no-doubt home run to Gary Sánchez in the third inning but otherwise quieted an inconsistent Padres offense that had broken loose Saturday night in an 8-3 win. The 36-year-old Lynn, acquired from the Chicago White Sox on July 28, held the Padres to one run and four hits while striking out six and walking two in six innings. The top four batters in San Diego’s order had just one hit, a single by leadoff man Ha-Seong Kim.Hill (7-11), a 43-year-old lefty obtained Tuesday from Pittsburgh along with Ji Man Choi, lasted only three innings in...
