Khan! the Musical
by KC Fringe Festival
Just saw Khaaaaan! the Musical at The Off Center Theater. Lovely space, comfortable seats. This is a nerd-centric concept of the Enterprise crew (Kirk, Spock and Bones, everyone else is voiceover and apparently, the red shirts are all dead) attacked by Khan in the future and returning to a 1980s culture where he is President of the world. Downsides of this production are weird structure, under-rehearsal and nobody's going to go home humming the tunes. Upsides are the cast and the fact that you're going to love it anyway. The cast is a delight, particularly Jay Coombes as Kirk (who dances marvelously, giving hope to portly gentlemen everywhere) and Steven Eubank as Khan (whose rock star numbers are pure joy.
This is simply a fun show and I'd tell you to go see it, but you're probably going to anyway.
