BWW Review: BLUE MAN GROUP is A Party Not To Be Missed
by Frank Benge - December 28, 2015
BLUE MAN GROUP is not your average stage show. BLUE MAN GROUP is a strange, zany, comical, and surreal experience. How do you describe the indescribable? Its not a musical, its not a play, its an experience. While performance art comes closest to categorizing them, what an audience experiences is really a unique communal party. Formed in 1991, BLUE MAN GROUP is best known for their creative stage productions around the world.

BWW Review: DEBBIE DOES DALLAS is Sublimely Silly Satire
by Frank Benge - December 21, 2015
During the seventies, the adult film industry went through a very strange period of trying to make adult films with actual plots and dialogue. The attempts, to put it mildly, were laughable. The 'acting' was, at best, wooden and the dialogue ranged the gamut from stilted to repetitive. During this period, which has been dubbed 'The Golden Age of Porn' or 'Porno Chic', came some big box office successes. Among the biggest hits of this era was the film 'Debbie Does Dallas', released in 1978, close to the end of the period. By the early eighties, home video effectively ended the era where people went to movie theaters to see porn.

BWW Review: KILL THE CRITIC - a Misguided Mess
by Frank Benge - December 14, 2015
KILL THE CRITIC! by Todd Wallinger is a new period farce that had its second production here in Austin. Set in the fifties, it is a clever little script about an actor who kidnaps a critic to avoid another bad review. Unfortunately, this production by Stage Presence Players, had so much wrong with it that it is hard to know where to begin.

BWW Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON is an Evening Full of Show Stopping Musical Hilarity and Heart
by Frank Benge - December 11, 2015
THE BOOK OF MORMON is a satirical musical with book, lyrics, and music by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone. Parker and Stone are the creators of the animated series South Park, which just wrapped up its 19th season. Lopez is best known as a co-composer/co-lyricist of Avenue Q and Frozen. THE BOOK OF MORMON is the story of two young Mormon missionaries who are sent to Uganda for their first mission. The boys have a naive outlook on life and little in common with each other. When they try to spread "the word" among the locals they find their audience has many things on their minds and religion is the last thing they are thinking about.
