BWW Review: TOTALLY ELECTRIC Is Like, So Totally Rad and Bad (but not in the good way)
by Matt Tamanini - Sep 11, 2015


The 1980s are often remembered as the era of over-produced power-ballads, bright neon colors, ozone offending hair, superficial beauty, and obnoxiously shallow people. For better or for worse, TOTALLY ELECTRIC, Gen Y Productions latest musical, falls victim to many of the least desirable traits of the decade that it sets out to lampoon. Fortunately however, the show, playing at The Abbey in Downtown Orlando through September 28th, is also buoyed by some of the decade's most hummable songs from the likes of R.E.O. Speedwagon, The Go-Go's, and Tiffany, with a little Reba McEntire thrown in for good measure.
