You know her name，Maureen McGovern of course，but it is understandable if what you can think of when you reflect on her voice is that mournful song The Morning After from the movie The Poseidon Adventure (1972) or the equally We May Never Love Like This Again from the equally disaster-filled Towering Inferno (1974). Ms McGovern’s career took off with these recordings when she was in her early 20s，and both won Oscars for best song. Then she sort of disappeared.
At 62-although she says she prefers to give her age “in Celsius17”-Ms McGovern is sharing both her career rise-and-fall-and-rise story and a good bit about her personal life in this almost-solo（独唱）show，Two River Theater Company’s latest main stage production Carry It On. It’s an uneven but eventually satisfying mix of songs and anecdotes（轶事）.
Ms. McGovern’s narration (叙述) seems forced and artificial at first，too，going on about “The Wizard of Oz，”Emily Dickson，her childhood home in Ohio and her idols，(偶像) including Judy Collins and Mary Travers. It would have been nice if Philip Himberg，the director and the star’s co-author，could have forced a little more liveliness into these anecdotes. But Ms McGovern either eases into them or becomes carried away with memories of social activism. “ The 1960s sort of got stuck to me，”she says，and goes into Joni Mitchell’s classic Circle Game.
However，by the time she does the title number by Joan Baez，with a background of violent scenes from the civil rights movement，the audience is hers. In the best numbers，her voice is big，powerful and capable of crystal-clear notes with deep emotion.
Maya Ciarrocchi’s projection design is a remarkable part of the show. It’s not wildly creative，but the images are well chosen and artistically edited. Ms McGovvern sings The White Cliffs of Dover to a picture of her father in his World War II uniform. She sings When I’m 64 and Let It Be in front of a changing collage（拼贴画）of the Beatles in their youth.
