Super Spectacular! To Opera with Love
KC Fringe Festival
So admittedly, these guys had me at "6 operas in 60 minutes" but they still managed to exceed my expectations and deliver a rollicking hour of hilarious mayhem. The story, concerning a loveably vain opera star performing his audition material in preparation for a shot at playing Pavarotti, is a delightfully silly framework on which to hang the real "star" of the show: the promised 6 operas, which borrow from more pop references than you can shake a lorgnette at. Both actors bring a manic energy to the show, and they clearly love what they're doing, which endears them to the audience even more. Even the one (impressively well-behaved) child in the audience ate it up. Bring the family - at $5 a ticket, this may be the best deal of this year's Fringe!
