| - It aint a secret that I am a big Sirc Michaels fan. The guy is smart, puts great, low budget productions together and well , he approaches theater differently and I encourage that. Which brings me to the enxt question? What happened here.
The concept is fun. Catchy. I mean, 80's!1 who doesn't love the 80's and who doesn't love a cheesy story line about the 80s!!! Think about it..so much music, so many movies so many references that can be used, however, the execution was poor at its finest.
Lets start with the room itself. Not a bad theater. Kinda big for what the show is but not bad at all. Seats were comfy and you were very close to the actors. For a minute you forgot that you were inside a huge casino in las vegas. Is that bad? No, not at all. Its actually awesome as this type of production belongs to a small theater and thankfully you keep that feeling.
The props .The props?? What props? Nothing was used for props. Everything left to your imagination..Yes I like the use your brain concept but come on at least give me something to work with. Am I spoiled because of Evil dead or dead head? Maybe, but remember that this tickets are a little more expensive as when E.D was at the onyx and they still had props.
I like the outfits, the dialogues and the classic 80's story line and the movie references that the host rewards you for was a pretty interactive part.
The show is a musical, and here is my main problem. Why the heck aren't you using people that can sing? The blonde girl was doing a great job (acting and singing), and so was the older gentleman that was the host of it. But when the hottest chick (the one wearing a black skirt) in the show decided it was her turn to sing.;HOLY CRAP ..I can tell you right now that the whole audience childhood memories were hurt forever. She did some damage with her singing or awful attempt to. The rest of the cast (not
including blondie and older black fella) couldn't sing at all either, but at least I didn't feel like medusa was turning me into stone like hot chick did. Seriously guys, why???
If the show was free , or 5 to 10 dollras, at a crappy location, donating its profits to cure cancer or if you are as drunk as you can be then I would understand .But at the price that it goes for, and its location Im sad to announce that this show doesn't worth it at all.Change the cast, (keep the blonde and the black fella), use some cheesy props, and you will see that the production (and reviews) will get better inmediatly.
I know you can do it Sirc..youve done it before and can be done again.
