The Catastrophic Theatre presents a new musical titled Love Bomb, conceived and directed by Brian Jucha. Set in the dynamic world of "taxi dancers," the story unfolds in a dance hall where patrons will go to great lengths in their pursuit of love. Featuring songs from iconic singer-songwriter Melanie, the production showcases ensemble performances by Noel Bowers, Amy Bruce, Tamarie Cooper, and more. This experimental musical promises surprises and a unique blend of found text and pop culture, capturing the spirit of an era.
It is all about just telling stories through this little world that we create together, and many of us just bring in many of our personal experiences as actors or even just through our lives. And the show really invited that openness, for sure, because LOVE BOMB or just love in general is a topic that can go so many different ways.
LOVE BOMB is a masterpiece of the absurd, but at the same time, it’s a viable Melanie jukebox musical that could command any stage in town. Yet I doubt that any company other than the Catastrophic Theatre will ever dare to do so because it asks much of its audience.
