 The Black Rider, a CurtainUp London review
The Black Rider is not a new musical as it was first produced fourteen years ago in Germany and, reading a description of that production, it seems largely similar to the one mounted at London's Barbican theatre.
I think that "The Black Rider" music may not be Waits' very best and the simplistic Faustian fairy tale story-line from which the book is taken does not allows a great deal of manoeuvre for depth of characterisation.

With a score by Tom Waits, text by William S. Burroughs and an overall concept by the imaginative Robert Wilson, "The Black Rider" is an extraordinary, exaggerated, captivating, eclectic piece of musical theater.
"Black Rider" is wonderfully realized onstage through the unbelievable imagination of Wilson, who not only directs but also created the expressionistic sets and vivid lighting.
The "Black Rider" cast is absolutely splendid as they move about like stylized marionettes controlled by some higher source, always in sync with the vision of Wilson, the songs (folk, blues and rock) of Waits and the fragmented words and Anglo-American implications and allusions of Burroughs.

 Theatre Reviews Limited: "The Black Rider: The casting of the Magic Bullets"
While his musical style is clearly distinctive and wonderfully unique in the true sense of the word, when I can decipher his lyrics from his soulful, smoky, boozy, soothing rattle of a voice, I have no idea what they mean or what the hell he's saying.
But after experiencing "The Black Rider", I still don't understand Tom Waits (or William S. Burroughs or Robert Wilson) any more than before, but I feel like I have been to hell and back and enjoyed every minute of the ride.
The costumes are a sumptuous fl, the makeup a deathly white, the music a dense blend of Cabaret, music hall, and Tom Waits, and the acting a clearly stated commedia del arte style, each actor reaching the heights and depths of pain, happiness, and angst with excruciating precision.

 The Black Rider: review on TheaterMania.com
Yet ACT has never presented a show as emotionally powerful, visually beguiling, and musically fascinating as the current hit, The Black Rider: The Casting of the Magic Bullets, which officially opened the 2004-05 season on September 3.
The music of The Black Rider, on the other hand, strikes me as the most enthralling and, possibly, the most enduring part of the enterprise; never mind that the production is spoken of as "Robert Wilson's Black Rider."
The Black Rider is a terrific avant-garde entertainment that never makes us feel we're being preached at or taught a lesson about life, even though we are.

In London, where "The Black Rider" began its three-city tour in May, Richards played George Schmid each night and subbed for Faithfull just once when she missed a performance.

There are no "historic" buildings in the Black Rider, just squares and lights.
The brilliant music, which mixes cabaret with jug band blues, and the text, which makes references to the twentieth century even though the story seems considerably older, gives "The Black Rider" a timeless quality, covering timeless themes, mainly dependence, whether on drugs, on other people's acceptance, magic bullets, or the devil.

 A striking sight to behold -- Robert Wilson's darkly poetic 'Black Rider' a magical ACT opening
The fall theater season got off to its most memorable start in years Wednesday with the opening of Robert Wilson's "The Black Rider: The Casting of the Magic Bullets" at the Geary Theater.
Faithfull's composed, sly, smokey-voiced Pegleg is the devil, emerging from an elongated fl box that becomes one of Wilson's primary visual metaphors -- disgorging the characters like clowns from a tiny car, rising, fading into a wall of fl, hovering over the action.
McGrath's Wilhelm is the perfect fool with his wide, clueless grin -- a "Cabaret" emcee as a hapless human puppet, executing deftly understated slapstick with long limbs manipulated by invisible strings.
