it’s alive, IT’S ALIVE! at Odyssey Theatre

The world premiere of its alive, ITS ALIVE!, an outrageous musical satire that reflects on our national panic in the face of the pandemic, conceived and performed by legendary performance artist John Fleck (Blacktop Highway, Mad Women, NEA Four) and directed by Flecks longtime collaborator, David Schweizer. Joined onstage by music director John Snow on upright bass; Scott Peter on piano; and singer/dancers Kyle G. Fuller and Tomoko Karina, Fleck uses musical numbers, dance sequences and broad characters to create a hilarious and uniquely ribald theatrical rollercoaster that skewers our fears and assumptions about everything from COVID-19 to our identity as earth dwellers at this precarious moment. Proof of vaccination is required for admission. Masks must be worn throughout the performance. February 19 March 20; Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd., West Los Angeles, 90025; $25; For reservations and information, call (310) 477-2055 or go to OdysseyTheatre.com.
