La Muerte Viva written and directed by Tony Dominguez playing at the beautiful Million Dollar Theatre at 307 South Broadway is a lot of fun.
After tomorrow the dead will disappear until next year. If you want to go, go tomorrow on Saturday
November 5, 2011. Parking is nearby and relatively inexpensive.
There are lovely ladies to greet you at the door and they
will make you feel right at home. In
fact everyone will make you feel at home.
When you walk into the beautiful Million Dollar Theatre you
realize at one time or another people, lots of people, came here to watch
movies. On this particular night the
venue was set for another type of extravaganza.
Billed as “Where Rock Opera Meets Cabaret” starring the band
El Gavachillo (featuring Wil-Dog of Ozomatli) y su Banda, The Wise Guys, and
Santos de Los Angeles & his Player Saint Orchestra. And if you love brass (and I do) you’ll love
the music in this show.
And to liven things up a bit Rudy Champagne also brought us
a bit of burlesque.
The best thing I can describe about this production is, it is
a production of controlled chaos. Things are not always perfect, but things do
get done.
The first thing you notice when entering the orchestra
section are the Tony Dominguez’s wonderful paper mache puppets on stage, the
second the music, and the third a little bit of acting. Just a little bit mind you.
And just as a small critique Dominguez needs to keep the
action moving on stage to keep it livelier.
I’m sure things will be tightened for tomorrow night. And one hopes the sound problems (the
microphones) will be fixed.
Overall, this was a lot of fun.
You will hear some of the finest brass players in showgirls
costume on the planet!
Support the arts and have a great time.
