LOLPERA

"Lolpera" is brilliant! Part of brilliance is picking what to write about, and Andrew and Ellen have definitely caught the zeitgeist of the moment and written about it masterfully. This show is so good that in a year I expect it to be on Broadway at ticket prices I cannot afford. If you haven't seen it yet, let Basement Cat assimilate you to catch it wherever and whenever you can. It'll be in New York in August. If it's not sold out for its final performance of the Hollywood Fringe, buy your ticket from this site before you finish reading this rev...... full review

You might think that a show based on LOLcats might be a waste of time. You might think that an OPERA based on LOLcats might not only be a waste of time, but an impossibility. Well, be ready to be proven wrong by Ellen Warkentine and Andrew Pedroza. This wildly absurd and hilarious trip through the anthropomorphic world of LOLcats is not only entertaining, but surprisingly coherent.

LOLPERA is current, fresh and hip. The LOL Cats on the screen combined with musical performance, ensamble cast, singing, dancing, choreography, cats, more cats and lolwalrus makes it SO meta, one has to be really careful not to lose his/hers shit when LOLing in the theatre! Brilliant idea, brilliant concept, brilliant writting!!!!! A MUST SEE!!! ... full review

LOLpera is absolutely genius. LN&AND never cease to amaze me, and this show is their masterpiece. I never thought that lolcats could fill me with anything other than amusement, but LOLpera managed to give them the ability to make the audience feel a full spectrum of emotions. From laughing about bukkits, to crying about cookies, and even feeling slightly uncomforatble about what private activities ceiling cat is watching, this show will have you fully invested in every lol-filled second. Not to mention that the music will work its way into you heart and soul so that weeks later you'll find yourself sing a verse or two out of nowhere.... full review

Saw this amazing show last Sunday, the 10th. What a thrill ride it was. Combines all forms of music from Wagner, to Pop, to Rap and explores relationships, Faust, Book of Revelations, cats, and finding da cheezburger. You do not want to miss this. Such energy and such talent on one little stage. It will knock your socks off! kudos to the cast, crew, the director, and the writers.... full review
