My overall impression
I have to agree with Jason Rohrer’s review at Stage and Cinema on this one (http://www.stageandcinema.com/2014/06/13/million-dollar-hair-lost-moon/). I am a HUGE fan of Lost Moon Radio, trumpeting about the inventive troupe for years. For “Million Dollar Hair,” the actors, the characterizations, the band, the lighting, the production: all were amazing. And no doubt there were some guffaw-inducing moments. But I found myself itching to get out of the theater. Why? The songs – the main element of the show – wore out their welcome almost immediately. There were some good riffs, but the lyrics were clunky, one-note, and sorely unsophisticated. Even the written dialogue was mostly juvenile and simply not funny. And with no individual sketches to break up the monotony, I found the entire enterprise interminable and soporific. I don’t think my theatergoing companion disliked it as intensely as I did, but his comment was “It just didn’t work.”
