We saw it this afernoon.
LOVED it. But, everything about it was rightup my alley. Great Expressionist sets, fantastic caberet-inspired music by the please-freeze-his-head-when-he's-gone Tom Waits and, of course, text by William Burroughs who never disappoints.
People walked out. We overheard someone say "Quelle Bizarre" at one point, and the people behind us were talking about the lack of linear storytelling.
I wasn't aware that all stories needed to be linear and I didn't know speaking faux French in a Los Angeles theaer was normal, but I'm pretty out there myself.
This was one of the most satisfying theater productions I've seen in a while - but I'm certainly not your run of the mill theater goer. I don't usually flock to "Broadway" style productions and tend to go for the more unusual pieces. Lots of disclaimers there, I know. I highly recommend it, but wouldn't recommend it for everyone. How's that for nothing?
