My overall impression
There’s a lot to love about this wacky show, not the least of which is the discovery of Heidi Tungseth and Kara Morgan, who comprise “The Glorious Act That We do” and who wrote, filmed, sing (in Italian), dance, play flute (sometimes each other’s in unison – impressive and hilarious) and are generally fearless in doing whatever it takes to populate and sell this delirious concept: a late 80’s sitcom sung as an Italian opera with projected English subtitles and commercial breaks, composed of opera’s greatest melodies with new lyrics; And then for no reason, other than a Seth MacFarlane sort of non sequitur, it all switches in the second half to 80’s power-rock anthems, also repurposed with new Italian lyrics. If you love OR hate any of the following: opera, musical theatre, the 80’s, 80’s sitcoms, 80’s fashion, or 80’s music, then I gotta think you’ll find plenty to laugh at in this goofy performance.
