As this musical has been on various comedy and stage circuits for over 10 years now, expectations are set at a high throughout the audience as they slide through the backstage and fill the small theatre. But sometime between reading the program’s song titles (i.e. Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist and The Internet is for Porn) and seeing a lovable puppet get an erection, those expectations are surpassed.
Director Stephen Wheat has assembled an outstanding group of multi-talented puppeteers, whose superb comedic timing and ability to act simultaneously with their faces and their puppets, keep the laughs coming a mile a minute. Special recognition should go to Zulieka Khan for her rendition of beloved former child star Gary Coleman.
If you’re lucky enough to procure yourself tickets to this show, keep your expectations as high as the hell you want to, because this show, and especially this cast, will easily live up to the hype. And now….go look at some porn, that’s what the internet is for…don’t worry, a puppet told me to say that, so it’s OK.
