Jaxx Theatricals will present CLUBHOUSE, an original jukebox rock musical at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, tackling themes of loss, addiction, and mental health through classic rock songs and a live on-stage band.
Pow Thrust! Bam!! The is the best polished musical theater production currently on the boards in LA! Musical Theater god, James Lent, took a four piece hugely talented band with only a five piece orchestrations to sound magically like a full orchestra bringing a solid punch to every number! Creatively choreographed geometrically with no square inch left unused across the forced proscenium! Lighting truss to create a center curtain egress but double as an elevator was sheer innovation worthy of an Ovation itself! Mics were too hot for the softer songs and the pulled ANNIE OAKLEY costumes looked a little pulled in the dramatic moody lighting of the Fandango taxi dance nightclub. Risque' costumes and burlesque bend overs are not for the Disney family musical gate droppers. critic think of SWEET CHARITY! at The JAXX Theater Hollywood?
