What I liked
The blocking and choreography is extremely clean and completely matches the vibe of the show. I really appreciate a show that will commit and lean hard into exactly what it is, and this worked so well!
What I didn't like
Nothing that I can think of!
My overall impression
Eternal Flamer is an over the top, laugh out loud queer comedy that commits to the bit. Matthew Zanfagna beautifully directs this wacky show with some of the cleanest choreography I’ve ever seen. The set is simple, but extremely effective, and the performers lean hard into this satirical nature of the script. Some highlight performances include James Tison as the innocent yet confident Jessie Blade, Joan Nelson as the overbearing (and somehow loveable) Mamma Blade, and Gnosis as Rudy – the grounded foil to every other character. If you are ready to dive into the 80s, then “I Heard a Rumor” that you should not be such a “Straight Edge” and step into the “Danger Zone” and come see this show. Don’t miss out on this zaney show or “Another One Bites the Dust”.
