One of the most creative shows I’ve seen. The music could be a bit more polished, especially the song accompanying the flag scene-that song was not clearly performed. These 2 women did a fantastic job-loved the Mark Twain quotes thrown in between scenes. Go see this show!
Pleasant. Timing and pacing are marred by having to enter through actual doors rather than from behind a screen. Could do a lot better with Annie Oakley material.
Cute show. Talented cast. Have some interesting historical facts I didn’t know. Meandered a bit at times, but I was along for the ride wherever they went.
This show did not quite live up to its billing. I thought it was going to focus on the changing of the time zones, instead of providing a whole bunch of facts about the time period. The premise of two women acting the parts of various men of the period was interesting; however, when the young woman playing Thomas Edison performed a dance in a sexy dancer’s outfit, the gender-bending got a bit confusing, since both wore men’s clothing for the rest of the scenes. However, both of the actors were quite talented and they provided some interesting historical tidbits, along with some anachronistic humor.
Has real potential as a tool for late teens to be on stage and learn & teach history to early and preteens. The Mark Twain quotes were good, but not new to me as a 60+ year old, but they might be new and special to younger folks.
