It is very rare that I come back to see a show a second time, but Beau, the Musical is an exception   It has such a big heart and is so welcoming of an audience, I just couldn’t say no. The producers have turned subterranean black-box space at Off Broadway’s St. Luke’s Theater into a Nashville tavern, complete with a bar along one side. There are lots of posters on the wood-paneled walls, and even the ends of giant oak whiskey barrels on the floor serve as elevated performing spaces. The audience is seated at bar tables and stools along three sides of the space, creating a concert atmosphere for the young country singer Ace Baker, who’s ostensibly performing at the venue to promote his second album. He’s also narrating his life story in fleshed-out backstory scenes between the musical numbers performed by a talented band of actor-musicians.
