BWW Reviews: 'RAIN' Pours Beatle-Mania onto Orange County, CA (ends 3/28)
by Michael L. Quintos
- Mar 25, 2010
Arguably one of the most popularly-beloved pop acts of the 20th century, the Beatles -- that engaging Liverpool, UK foursome comprised of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr -- have not only left an indelible mark in music history, but have also carved themselves a place in pop culture that still resonates today. It's no surprise, then, that when RAIN®: A TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES took the stage of the Orange County Performing Arts Center (performances continue through March 28), there were plenty of screams, lots of heads bopping (to the beat of the music), and ample breakouts of infectious sing-alongs. Steeped in affectionate nostalgia, the theatrically-leaning concert production is an enjoyable multi-media presentation that is huge in both sound and visuals.

by BWW News Desk
- Mar 13, 2010
Joey Nova Presents brings you SEXTACULAR! SEXTACULAR!, a re-imagining of the cabaret shows from turn-of-the-century France, but with a modern New York City rock n roll edge. Charmingly egocentric host Joey Nova (Cutie Patooties, Precious) is joined by co-host Erika Smith (Dracula, Screen Sirens) as his absinthe-conjured sidekick, 'The Green Fairy', as they try to petition the government for a new holiday celebrating SEX! When prudish-but-provocative government liaison Prudence Rottoncrotch (played by Miss Pin Up Coney Island 2008, Kristen Lee from Cherry Pop!) is sent in to hear their proposal, Joey and The Green Fairy argue their case by seducing her with twenty titillating acts by some of the hottest performers in theatre, burlesque, and cabaret. Featuring dazzling light & fire shows, astounding aerial acts, dynamic acrobatics, tantalizing burlesque performances, glam rock cabaret, punk rock cancan girls and rocket-fueled glam rock band Starbolt 9 as the Sextacular! Sextacular! house band.
