frolicsome

Even Bauman’s funniest musical bits get swallowed in the show’s frothy, frolicsome relentlessness.

A pile of luggage, the vaulted ceiling of a Victorian train station, a sliding staircase and a frolicsome bookcase conjure the various settings with minimal fuss.

“Tartuffe: Born Again” might not satisfy purists, but anyone looking for a frolicsome encounter with a classic comedy in the most divine natural setting will leave with a smile.

And the version we love and know best is the frolicsome, often gaudy pleasure pier, redolent of the scents of corn dogs and popcorn and fishy waters.

She is followed by Veranica, a cheerful tween who leads a quintet of trained dogs through a frolicsome routine.
