A Kind of Magic - We Will Rock You:The Musical Plays Columbus


      We Will Rock You: The Musical has made it's way to the Palace Theater in Columbus, Ohio. The show is running here in Columbus until Sunday, January 12th, 2014. I had the privilege of seeing the show last night, and I had an excellent time. The show is a jukebox musical based entirely on the music of the 70's progressive rock band "Queen", which was lead by famous front-man Freddie Mercury. Mercury is widely known not only as a musician but was taken too soon by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Freddie passed in 1991, at the young age of 45 years old. As a fan of the band "Queen"  - I must say this show provided the platform of a nice tribute to the band, and to the front-man's early passing.

      The musical story centers around life in what might not be an all too distant future- where everything is lived on social media, and the remnants of free expression through rock and roll music are almost all long forgotten. A World where the government is controlling everything you like, and can even know. A young boy "Galileo" and his soon to be female friend "Scaramouche" get arrested for defying the odds to be themselves. However, there is a few people who haven't been fooled by the consumerism that has taken over the world, and caused people to become robots to society - "The Bohemians". These characters yearn for something more to life, and will do anything to live out the dream of once again hearing music, and rock and roll the way it was intended. Meanwhile, they still have an antagonist who will do anything she can to put an end to all this. "The Killer Queen", and her many minions.  I don't wanna tell you too much about these characters as you'll have a great time, and probably be able to follow the simple plot constructed around all the great Queen hits you probably already know.

      The Show is overall a great time, and at times even may seem like you are at a rock show, rather than at a Broadway scale musical. The lighting has all the stops you'd expect in a show like this - the mirror ball, the strobe lights, the concert track lighting. The sets are pretty fun as well, as most of them are projections that fit well with the stories pace. The actors do a good job conveying the story, and singing the songs the way you'd want to hear them live.The characters at times even get the audience involved. I may of waived my hands in the air a couple times too with the rest of the audience. This show is also great for date night, guys night out, girls night out, and is for anyone just looking to rock out.  You might also use this show as a fun night indoors to stay busy while battling the cold weather. 

     Don't miss this show- You'll love it. Take this as me telling you that it is only here for 1 week, and your "Under Pressure" to go see this one for yourself. This show will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat.

     Broadway in Columbus is running a special on tickets as well for select performances(below). I hope to hear you made it out and had a great time. You can find more info as always here:

Flashdance- The Musical



     Flashdance - The Musical has danced it's way into Columbus, Ohio this week. The show based on the movie from 1983, features many of the popular #1 hits from the movie's original soundtrack including -"What A Feeling", "Gloria", and "Maniac" just to name a few. Running in town till December 22nd, 2013 here in Columbus at the Palace Theatre, and soon visiting other major cities - and who knows maybe even to Broadway soon? You would be a Maniac to miss your chance to see this show.




        The pre-show curtain has clips from the 80's MTV generation including Madonna, Olivia Newton John, and Def Leppard which certainly sets the mood for what you are about to see. From the moment the curtain rises - you are immediately brought into the action of a small town girl working at a steel mill, who has big time dreams of being a professional dancer. Working at the steel mill by day, and dancing at a local hot spot by night- she anxiously awaits an audition to get into a prestigious dancing academy. Encouraged by friends and loved ones who believe in her talent, she also soon finds a love interest who is her boss from the steel mills son. As you can imagine this could causes her some possible issues? Meanwhile, the plot also thickens when a new nightclub opens down the street, threatening the business of the hot spot she has established herself dancing in. She and her friends continue to defy the odds to follow their dreams. You'll want to go and see how this plot turns out? 






      The lighting, and sets are also worth a look- as they provide a really great aesthetic that is pleasing to the eyes- among the already familiar music. The choreography is simply amazing- as it features almost every style of modern and trained dancing, from ballet to some hip-hop dancing stuck in for the new MTV generation to enjoy. Writing this I must say that I have no dancing skills, so the dancers in this show will put anyone to shame that has two left feet.


         Whether you are making this show a girls night out, a date, or you are just going to relive the magic from the already popular movie- you are going to enjoy the show. I had a really great time, and would recommend this show to everyone. Thanks again to CAPA for the opportunity to see the show.

Wiazrd of Oz 3D tomorrow!

I am super excited to see Wizard of Oz in IMAX 3D. I can only wonder what it will look like- what parts will stand out and pop more?

They are saying this is a very limited engagement. I will have to go before it ends.
