Stars! Or So They Can Seem. ‘iLuminate,’ a Light Show With Actors, at New World Stages.

Before a recent performance of iLuminate, I felt like a schoolgirl who’d stolen an advance copy of the final exam. Having seen the show’s first version six months ago and read its publicity material, I knew what was going to unfold. Despite the title, other audience members might have remained unenlightened. Plotline and characters’ motivations don’t always emerge clearly. Not that it matters: iLuminate is more spectacle than story, with technology its most dazzling star.
