Avenue Q

Coming Up In Dayton Theatre, 6/14 – 6/23

June 13, 2013 By Sarah Caplan Leave a Comment

There are a lot of things closing, opening and running this weekend. Plenty of things to see and even some good fare to take the family, including Dad! Theatre tickets make an awesome Father’s Day gift. Does he like humor? Music? Laughing? Everything Dayton offers up this weekend features all three! Check it out!

 

Closing This Weekend!

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

The Dayton Playhouse

Funny-Thing-3110The Skinny: Something familiar, something peculiar. Something for everyone! A comedy tonight! Come see the Dayton Playhouse take on one of Stephen Sondheim’s funniest and best loved pieces. A farcical love story taking place in a fictionalized idea of Ancient Rome. A father-son dynamic is at the heart of this piece! Perfect for Father’s Day! So take your dad to see the matinee and then buy him Chinese Buffet for dinner afterwards! Or maybe that’s just my family tradition?

Dates: Closing Sunday, 6/16

Tickets: Please visit the Dayton Playhouse website at www.daytonplayhouse.com

 

Currently In Production!

Avenue Q

AVENUE Q production pic 3The Human Race Theatre Company

The Skinny: Don’t let the puppets and the “Sesame Street” skin tones confuse you; THIS IS NOT FOR KIDS. Avenue Q is a riotously funny, politically incorrect and downright raunchy Tony Award-winning musical about recent college grad Princeton and his funny, sometimes furry, friends who live at the very end of New York’s (in)famous Alphabet City. Featuring songs like, “Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist,” “It Sucks To Be Me,” and of course that battle cry of the internet age: “The Internet Is For Porn!” seriously this show is NOT FOR KIDS. But it is for adults who like to laugh really hard.

Dates: Through June 29th.

Tickets: Please visit the Human Race Theatre Company website at www.humanracetheatre.org.  Have we mentioned that this production is NOT FOR KIDS?

The Sound Of Music

lac_sound-of-music-300x211La Comedia Dinner Theatre

The Skinny: Ok, this one is safe for all the family…unless they’re offended by cherubic singing siblings and Nazi-fighting nuns! This is the well-loved classic,  and a perennial crowd pleaser. Join The Captain, Maria and all 7 children as they sing, dance and, eventually, cross the Alps.

Dates: Through 6/30

Tickets: Please visit the La Comedia website at www.lacomedia.org

Opening this Weekend!

Legally Blonde The Musical

Legally-BlondeBeavercreek Community Theatre

The Skinny: To quote its opening number: “Oh my god, oh my god you guys!”, it’s another production of Legally Blonde! This charming and enjoyable musical (based on the movie) takes the stage now at Beavercreek Community Theatre. Come join the plucky Elle Woods as she follows her “true love” to Harvard Law. There she gets a taste of hard work, the real world, and maybe learns to rely on her smarts more than her, well, blondeness.

Date: Opening 6/21 and running through 6/30

Tickets: Please visit the Beavercreek Community Theatre website at www.bctheatre.com

FutureFest Update:

images-1Just a heads up, all the shows for FutureFest weekend have been cast and have begun, or will be soon be beginning, rehearsal! Exciting! For more information about the shows and about Dayton’s own FutureFest, a nationally known festival of new works, go to www.daytonplayhouse.com and click the “FutureFest” tab.

Avenue Q Review – Human Race Theatre Company – Irreverent Joy (TICKET CONTEST)

June 10, 2013 By Russell Florence, Jr. 1 Comment

AVENUE Q production pic 1

If you’ve ever wondered why the Human Race Theatre Company continues to be heralded as one of the finest theater troupes in Southwest Ohio, take time to catch its splendidly hilarious production of “Avenue Q,” the risqué recipient of 2004 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Book and Score.

Blessed with brilliantly witty songs by Robert Lopez (“The Book of Mormon”) and Jeff Marx and a terrifically frank, clever and insightful book by Jeff Whitty (“Bring it On: The Musical”), “Avenue Q” tells a deliciously irreverent story of growing up, making mistakes, assessing regrets, falling in love, embracing identity and discovering purpose within a whimsical New York City neighborhood (impeccably designed with eye-catching graffiti and inspired nuances by Dick Block) where humans and puppets coexist. Borrowing a sunny “Sesame Street” framework, the breezy, R-rated musical dares us to examine our own beliefs and principles by poking fun at everything from racism and poverty to collegiate concerns and gay Republicans. Sometimes the bold, raunchy material is tough to swallow or outright jaw-dropping, but it can also break your heart with striking maturity, particularly when the ups and downs of a budding relationship are treated with deeply palpable poignancy.

The musical’s surefire comedic foundation and knockout entertainment value hasn’t diminished in the consistently reliable hands of director Joe Deer, who also helmed impressive productions of “Crazy for You” (Muse Machine) and “Spring Awakening” (Wright State) this season. Deer not only provides fluidly energetic choreography, allowing this version to surpass the original Broadway production in terms of movement and old-fashioned showmanship, but ensures his skillfully zany cast of eight steps up to the challenge of creating believable, emotionally sound characters. The material feeds the temptation to go over-the top, but it’s wonderful to see this joyfully compatible ensemble, especially those operating and voicing multiple puppets charmingly created in the Jim Henson vein by Zoot Theatre Company co-founder/ artistic director D. Tristan Cupp and adorably clothed by Shirley P. Wasser, aim for greater by achieving genuine, heartfelt sparks without aimlessly wallowing in silly, overdone caricature.

The immensely engaging, effortlessly multi-tasking James Oblak, a pleasant tenor, delivers one of the best performances of the season in the dual roles of Princeton and Rod. As the sincere, soul-searching Princeton, a liberal arts graduate in need of a life coach, Oblak appealingly explores the character’s puzzling uncertainty about his future and masters the romantic awkwardness that keeps him from obtaining true happiness. But as the uptight, snarky Rod, a closeted banker who loves Broadway musicals and secretly pines for his straight roommate, he pulls out the stops by commanding the stage with a mere glance or stance. Oblak simply attacks the fussy role with marvelously expressive vitality in which every fiber of his being encompasses denial, elation and heartbreak, particularly in his fantastic rendition of “My Girlfriend, Who Lives in Canada,” Rod’s amusing and ultimately shameful post-wedding meltdown.
An absolutely heartwarming Katie Pees is equally versatile as Kate Monster, the genial kindergarten teaching assistant attracted to Princeton, and Lucy the Slut, a saucy, curvaceous chanteuse longing to make her prey feel “Special.” Pees, a gifted comedienne who can make anyone laugh with the smallest inflection, seamlessly operates Kate while voicing Lucy in some instances, but her endearing interpretation, firmly grounded with a relatable earnestness on par with Oblak’s portrayals, is most notably solidified in her beautifully tender rendition of Kate’s lovelorn ballad “There’s a Fine, Fine Line,” which can be considered the unofficial anthem of the dating world.

AVENUE Q production pic 8

Excellently detailed, full-fleshed featured performances are given by the amiable Brett Travis as Rod’s laidback roomie Nicky and porn-adoring Trekkie Monster, the carefree Michael Thomas Walker as aspiring comedian Brian, the utterly delightful and occasionally fiery Michelle Liu Coughlin as Brian’s Asian wife Christmas Eve, the comically upbeat, sarcastic Shawn Storms as building superintendent Gary Coleman, and the super cute duo of Andrew Ian Adams and Annie Kalahurka as the Bad Idea Bears.
John Rensel’s proficient lighting design, Janet G. Powell’s appropriately understated costumes, musical director Sean Michael Flowers’ well balanced six-piece orchestra, and Zach Rosing and Ben Phillippe’s outstanding video design accent this must-see Human Race season finale.
For now “Avenue Q” is where you’ll want to be.

 

“Avenue Q” continues through June 29 at the Loft Theatre, 126 N. Main St., Dayton. Performances are June 16 and 23 at 2 p.m., June 11, 18 and 25 at 7 p.m., and June 12-15, 19-22 and 26-29 at 8 p.m. Act One: 70 minutes; Act Two: 45 minutes. Tickets are $41-$45. The production contains adult language/content. For tickets or more information, call Ticket Center Stage at (937) 228-3630 or visit www.ticketcenterstage.com or www.humanracetheatre.org

Jane’s Best Bets (3/30 – 4/3)

March 29, 2011 By Dayton937 Leave a Comment

Photo Credit: Alli Shillito

It is the end of March…although the madness continues, of course!  This also means that it’s the beginning of April showers.  However, instead of gifts, I’m going to shower you with things to do!

On Wednesday, make your way to the fabulous Jay’s Seafood Restaurant for their Groth Vineyards Tasting or to Bruning’s Wine Cellar for their Special Edition Tasting: All White Wines from Germany and Austria.  Although Sammy’s El Pueblo in Springboro has been open for a little while, head to their Grand Opening Celebration, which will feature a live mariachi band and buy one get one lunch or dinner!  Hopefully you’re like me and have your tickets to Avenue Q at Victoria Theatre (which is actually on Main Street).  Entertainment Weekly called it “one of the funniest shows you’re ever likely to see,” so I am so ready to get my laugh on and I hope you are too!  Just be sure to get your tickets ASAP as I have been told that there are only a few tickets remaining!  (For more info on this show, check out Shane Anderson’s article on DMM.)  And if you’re feeling like grabbing a beer and listening to some acoustic music, head to the Trolley Stop for the Old Time Acoustic Jam.

On Thursday, make your way to the PNC 2nd Street Market for Maple Syrup Maestro.  Over at Coco’s Bistro, enjoy their delicious food and 1/2 Price Wine by the Bottle.  Make your way to the Dayton Art Institute for DAI Movie Night: Steve McQueen in ‘Bullitt’.  FYI – “Bullit” doesn’t look like it’s speled corectlee, but when I looked it up, it waz acshually correctt.  If you love live music, make your way to the Centerville Schools Performing Arts Center to watch as The Centerville Orchestra presents, Mark Wood, a musician with an impressive resume!  Or, combine your love for video games with music by attending the Dayton Philharmonic’s The Return of Play! A Video Game Symphony at the Schuster Center.

On Friday, don’t go out and do anything.  Just be lazy, stay at home, and relax on the couch.  April Fool!  Of course you better not be doing that or else I’d have to try to drag you off the couch!  Instead, you can make your way to the Dayton Visual Arts Center for their Auction Preview Exhibition.  If you love cows and want to protect them, head to the Dayton Mall Chick-fil-A for their customer appreciation day, in which you will get a free Chick-fil-A sandwich(offered  4-7PM).  I have to be honest – I am so disappointed because I LOVE Chick-fil-A but do the “no meat on Fridays in Lent” thing…I wish they had a Fish-fil-A Sandwich!  Help raise money for music scholarships at Cedarville University by attending the ‘Musical Chairs’ performance.  If you’re downtown, be sure to participate in First Friday, the art hop that happens the first Friday of each month.  Kristen Wicker does a fantastic job telling you all about the events going on as part of First Friday, so I’ll shut my mouth (or stop typing) and encourage you to check out her article yourself…it’s really not a joke!

On Saturday, all you 5K lovers should head to Eastwood MetroPark for Celtic Academy’s Inaugural 5K Race for the Worlds Run/Walk.  All you art lovers should attend the Auction Preview Exhibition at the Dayton Visual Arts Center.  Some theater options include Beauty and the Beast at Victoria Theatre, Bill W. & Dr. Bob at Dayton Playhouse, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at The Playhouse South, The Boys Next Door at the Dayton Theatre Guild, and Smoke on the Mountain at the University of Dayton.  Also at the University of Dayton, listen to the sounds of the Ebony Heritage Singers, Dayton’s gospel choir which will perform music from the African-American sacred music tradition.  Take the stairway to the Schuster Center, which will seem like heaven as you see the Dayton Philharmonic’s performance, The Symphony Rocks: Music of Led Zeppelin.  If you love football but hate to sit out in the cold, head to Hara Arena to watch as the Dayton Silverbacks play the Cincinnati Commandos.  And if you love black tie events and supporting great causes, head to the Wright State University ArtsGala.  I have heard that this is always an amazing event!

The Symphony Rocks: The Music of Led Zeppelin

On Sunday, THEater seems like THE thing to do!  Beauty and the Beast at Victoria Theatre, Bill W. & Dr. Bob at Dayton Playhouse, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at The Playhouse South, The Boys Next Doorat Dayton Theatre Guild, and Smoke on the Mountain at the University of Dayton are all options.  Or bring your kids to the Dayton Philharmonic’s performance, The Beat Goes On at the Schuster Center.

And now it’s time for the Dumb Joke of the Week. Drum roll please…

How does a cow keep track of all her appointments?

She checks her COWander.

These are just a few best bets from the DMM Calendar.  There are plenty more events listed there, so if you haven’t, I encourage you to check it out today!  Also, if you have an event to share or promote, please submit it– it’s great marketing and better yet, it’s FREE!  And finally, if you have a dumb joke to share, I’m all ears!

Have a great week Dayton!
