Where can I fly a kite legally in KC MO.
I've seen Sweeney Todd three times. The original production on Broadway, the Broadway revivial, and the show at Music Theatre Heritage. Found the latter to be a magical night of theatre filled with innovation and breath-taking performances. I was transported. I didn't miss a lyric and that is what it's all about. Had no idea there was talent like this in Kansas City. I urge all theatre lovers to go.
Although the talent of the cast is superb the suspense and excitement are lost in this adaptation.
I think Hansen's project was brilliant. The fact that there was such a 'problem' with her original plan only brought more attention to the exhibition and that's a good thing. This is an important conversation that more people need to be having. Well done Amber!
If you are remotely associated with farming, and you are by living in Kansas, you have the opportunity to go meet chickens, cows, pigs, etc. at your local farmer's house. I am sure they will let you go commune with the cattle. If you pay them, they will even let you keep it. I would think it refreshing to see you walk your cow, and pick up its mess on the sidewalks, and have conversations with it, and "know she loves you back." No.. wait, chickens love you back... cows are bitter because "Everything tastes like chicken!" I invite everyone to have a pet cow because it so stupid some freshman at KU would probably try. Get real you morons!!
Great article. Thanks for returning the spotlight to this project, Theresa. I hope those who caused this online ruckus in the first place acknowledge the diluted result of what the artist originally intended. Would Hansen better serve her coops by placing signage that attracts attention and explains WHY there are empty coops strewn about?
new structure means a new opening for ideas. i like.
In order to be a review I think you have to use an adjective. This is a plot summary... Or preview at best. I mean, how was it, man? Personally I thought it was a good show but reading this would not move me to take action and see it.
At the endof the first act I thought the author hates women. The one woman there is presented as an angry bitch. But things turned completely around in the secomd act when you discover what is really going on. The show was funny, well paced, Very satisfying and didn't deserve the criticism you sprayed on it. I hope it makes it to the Big Apple. At the very least it deserves long runs in community theaters all over this country. Ted
There is nothing wrong with this review—"small townness" would be to not acknowledge the difficulties in a show or company, and that's something missing too often here. It's a small, tight-knit theater community, and that's mostly nice, but it's okay to ask a company to step up and do better.
Damn!! She looks like she hasnt aged a bit since i first saw her on Laugh In during the 70s!!
Yay....you're back! Missed you terribly...I always need your words love!!!!
If your balls are cyclical enough to give a terribly written and pretty obviously biased critique without hiding behind the coward's shield of anonymity, I will personally give you a $20 refund.
I thought this was the biggest waste of time I have seen in a long time. The space lived up to its name in that I felt like I was sitting in a living room watching college friends get high and "write a play."
It said nothing about humanity or 9/11. Further, it said nothing about anything. The two supporting characters were pointless to the plot, sans the incredibly immature "debates" about religion and drug use. For someone who supports the legalization of Marijuana I found the playwrights viewpoints, that were transparently inserted, to be quite lame and elementary. Not to mention the 20 minute "bit" of trying to find a working lighter which was so tedious I wanted to stab my eyes out in some kind of Oedipus Rex cliche that would have been far more interesting than this play ever would hope to be.
The whole "Greasy balls" bit, the suicide note NEVER revealed, etc. merely enhanced the perception in which this play apparently takes pride in: the "cool theatre" thing to do is put whatever crap you can choke out quickly and invite your friends to (there were certainly no advances in audience development when I was there) because they'll laugh stroke each others egos and claim to be a successful venture.
The terrorists won with this show. I was squandered out of my $20 (the outrageous ticket price given the production value) and I left feeling angry about the state of American culture. Too bad the Taliban couldn't censor out this piece of crap.
The aspect of seeing beyond one's race or class under at least the Jehovah's Witnesses and Bahai is an act of spiritualism.
So under Scorpio, how does the Spiritualist Movement include the Baha'i Faith, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons?Those three faith communities have nothing to do with Spiritualism.

Hi Guest (if that is really your name),
Rufus Burns as a servant didn't bother me. There are a lot of very minor characters in this play and he wasn't the only very talented actor relegated to a line or two. I like color-blind casting, and that doesn't mean it can be only in lead roles. Burns was excellent this year in bigger roles in Ruined at the Unicorn and King Stag at UMKC, but I'll bet he's happy to have this job. That said, if you want to see some of the city's best actors, I highly recommend The Wiz at the Coterie (which I'll be reviewing next week). It's an all-multi-cultural cast and it is fabulous. You certainly don't have to have kids to go.
And yes, the boy's accent bothered me, but I have a policy, both professional and personal, of ignoring children in productions unless they are featured players and absolutely must be mentioned. It's the most merciful policy for all.
