Indecent

1st Stage’s production of Paula Vogel’s meta-play (an earlier production reviewed) is enlivened by cabaret-style music composed and arranged by Lisa Gutkin and Aaron Halva; music direction by Joe Walsh, Marika Anne Countouris, and Deborah Jacobson; and choreography by Robert Bowrn Smith. Alex Levy’s crisp direction keeps the multiple scene shifts and costume changes snappy. And the practical water effect in the show’s closing moments is a knockout.
