El Muchacho es Divertidísimo
Last night, I went to see “El Muchacho,” a Fringe play involving my friend Patrick Pilarski. “El Muchacho” is a Mexican-ized version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado.” It was a hilarious show, and a lot of fun to watch.
My one complaint was the male lead. Frankly, he wasn’t a very good singer. His solos were mildly painful to listen to, and there was something about his acting overall that bugged me. I’m not sure exactly what it was, but it bothered me.
Despite that, I can’t complain too much. The rest of the performances were solid, and the songs were all well executed. Plus, there were moments of improv, which is always fun.
I might be biased, because I had a friend in the show, but he was only in the chorus, and not one of the leads, so I think that I’m able to put any prejudice aside, and judge it fairly. Having said that, take my review with a grain of salt. Judge it for yourself, instead.
“El Muchacho” plays again today at 4:00pm, and closes on Saturday, August 25 at 6:30pm.
