Love Songs for Losers–the rock opera–graced the stage at The Merrimack Repertory Theater Saturday and yesterday evening, and it was good. oh, so good. Melvern Taylor and His Fabulous Meltones filled the hall with Melvern’s inimitable happy songs about sad people, and Jess Houlihan, the woman with the plan, brought her vision of it all to life right there in front of all of us. Kamryn Day is a revelation as “she”, the beauty in blue about whom all men hurl their broken selves against their various walls, and Benjamin Nguyen, our everyman, could neither resist. (Kamryn’s voice is too beautiful for words).

The songs were all, literally, themselves–just Melvern and the boys backing the cast–but also expanded and illuminated by a story that was as fresh as it was always there the way you knew it had to be. boy meets girl, and life just happens, and it’s all as beautiful as it can be sad and uplifting at the same time.

Congratulations to Jess and Jaymo and EVERYONE who had a hand in making it happen–it was an amazing evening, and the best of all that is this place we all call home. -Kad Barma
