BWW Reviews: OMAHA Lays Winning HANDS ON A HARDBODY at Omaha Community Playhouse
by Christine Swerczek - Feb 13, 2015
You might wonder how a musical about ten Texans competing to win a Nissan truck by being the last person standing with hands on it could be interesting. There can be little action since everyone is stuck to the truck by white cotton gloves. Yet, this musical is not about outward action so much as it is about inward struggle. These are varied characters with diverse personalities. The truck is the vehicle that ties them together. These white-gloved hands are what hang onto hope. I promise you that it is interesting!
