They do a good job maintaining an undertone of menace about them. Munck and Desmond are hilarious in the roles. Gangster #1 and Gangster #2 are gangsters in the mold of the gangsters from Kiss Me Kate and Bullets Over Broadway. Tottendale (Arabella Chrastina), and they make a fine comic duo. He’s so poised, even under the silliest of circumstances. He is a butler, so he’s British, has a stiff upper lip, and is snarky. I got more thrills from Rice’s skating than from the CGI slugfests of today’s blockbusters.īrenner Farr plays Underling. In addition to tap dancing, Rice rollerskates – blindfolded. Landers cartwheels and does the splits in heels. The physical stunts they pull off are impressive. They’re all triple threats: they sing well, they act well, and they dance well. “Toledo Surprise” is delicious from beginning to end. The emotion behind them is real even when they’re lyrically ridiculous – “Bride’s Lament” and “Love is Always Lovely in the End,” for instance. The musical numbers are engaging and energetic from both musical and performance standpoints. I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I saw Rice and Cam Burchard, who plays George, tap dance their way through “Cold Feets.” It has been a while since I’ve seen a musical with tap dancing. Two gangsters (Elijah Munck as Gangster #1 and Luke Desmond as Gangster #2) are disguised as pastry chefs and possess a never-ending supply of baked good puns. There is a lot to love about The Drowsy Chaperone. By acknowledging the stock characters, the contrived plot, and the lowbrow humor intended as filler upfront, the show gives the audience license to sit back and unapologetically enjoy the spectacle in front of us. The Man In Chair’s running commentary skewering The Drowsy Chaperone’s (intentionally built-in) flaws is necessary because a throwback show as it played straight today wouldn’t fly. As the Man In Chair listens to the record and provides commentary, he brings this screwball, Jazz Age comedy about the wedding day of oil tycoon Robert Martin (Logan Rice) and Broadway star Janet Van de Graaff (Rezia Landers) and the misadventures they and their attendees get into to life. To cheer himself up, he plays the cast recording of his favorite musical, The Drowsy Chaperone. He’s a fourth-wall-breaking theater fan and, in his words, is feeling blue. It starts with Man In Chair (Adam Milana Castrillón). Cold, rainy, and windy as it was outside, everything was red hot on stage. It was a dark and stormy night, but I ventured forth to the Lyceum Theater to see The Drowsy Chaperone. Hoping to have a better idea of timeline during the next week or so.(photo credit: vanguard uni) Written by Daniella Litvak I will be doing some BBW comics under the name "Otto Maddox" for them, but to find the continuations of the old series, you'll have to hang on for the new site. While the old site I worked for retains the old archived comics, my new comics as of July 2011, will no longer be featured on their site. I will also be posting some new series clips in my gallery here soon.įor those wondering, the following series will be carried on the new site:įree of old constraints, I'm hoping to revitalize some of the old comics as well in time. I am hoping to get some samples and tour pages up on the new domain shortly. Well, just wanted to let everyone who follows my work know about it. Same great JAG27 with the same great comic series but on a better designed site for half the price. I'll be updating a new comic a week as always. After a few months when I get my content built up a bit and a decent library going, the final price on the site will be $20 with $15 rebills. Initially it will be only $10 with no rebill option. The site is still in BETA testing, as it will of course be a pay site, but for those of you who follow my work and have been deterred from the old site I worked for because of the ridiculously high price.you will be happy to know the new site price will be way cheaper. HTTP://[Eyeronik Comics will be the site hosting all new JAG27 comics. JAG27-2012 comics will be hosted on the following site:
