REVIEW: ‘Chaplin’ offers flickering entertainment

Unfolding amid fluent black, white and grey visuals by designer Beowulf Boritt and enhanced by silvery video projections by Jon Driscoll, some of Chaplin’s vicissitudes are strikingly rendered, as when his various marital bouts are staged as the boxing match scene from “The Circus.” Ken Billington’s starkly dramatic lighting rays and the metallic threads used in the period costumes designed by the late, great Martin Pakledinaz with Amy Clark helpfully introduce glints of sparkle into the gloomy atmospherics.

The production is ably performed by a spirited ensemble that features such talented folk as Erin Mackey (sympathetic as Oona), little Zachary Unger (adorably doubling as young Charlie and Jackie Coogan) and Jim Borstelmann (darling in a thankless role as a loyal friend). Warren Carlyle’s airy dances and nimble staging moves the show along very nicely, but so often his various smoke and mirrors artistry simply dresses up a disappointingly empty occasion.

Performances of “Chaplin” continue at the Barrymore Theater, 243 W. 47th St., New York. Call (212) 239-6200 or visit www.chaplinbroadway.com.

Children can be conned out of inheritance after multiple marriages

BY CAROL ABAYA NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM THE SANDWICH GENERATION Multiple marriages and blended families can mean children get cheated out of money and assets their parent(s) earned and had before the second or third marriage. At the 2012 senior citizens’ law day conference, Lawrence A. Friedman, Bridgewater elder law attorney, said elders need to protect their children of prior marriages from being disinherited. "Even if your spouse’s current will provides for your children, your spouse may change it after you pass away,” he said. In addition to protecting one's child, an appropriate will can minimize N.J. estate taxes, which kick in if assets are over $675,000. At the conference, Cathyanne Pisciotta from North Brunswick discussed guardianship which could be necessary if various legal documents are not signed. Pisciotta said that if a person does not have a durable power of attorney (for financial affairs) and a living will (for medical decisions), anyone else can seek guardianship of that person. An expensive court proceeding is mandatory. And she said, “If one person seeks guardianship, someone else can challenge the appointment. Another relative may seek to be appointed guardian because he/she wants the money and power.”
