A short review
of "People
Are Wrong":
I ventured over to see the
"off-off Broadway" show "People Are
Wrong. The show is currently playing at P.S. 122.:
Performance Space 122 until Sunday, March 30th. What
once was a public school is now a place for shows
to be held. A fun and energetic comedy is brought
to life with performances feature David Driver (Runt),
John Fansburgh (They Might Be Giants), Maggie Moore
(Hedwig), and Chris Anderson (Muckafurguson), vocal
group STC - Sean Altman, Tricia Scotti, Connie Petruk
(as the disipples), and song-writing (as well as performance)
talents of Julia Greenberg and Robin Goldwasser.
"People Are Wrong"
is the musical tale of a charismatic cult leader disguised
as a plant loving gardener. A pair of new homeowners
move to the Catskills to plan their wedding at their
new home. Wanting to improve their lawn, they contact
Xanthus' through Agway (a local gardening service),
run by his disciples. Trouble starts when Xanthus
plans on building a rocket to Dimention 6 from the
visions he experiences and the local lumberjack reinforcing
the idea he's from outter space.
In the reality of it all, everyone's
brought back down to Earth with the realization that
never get yourself suckered into something that looks
too good to be true, and drugs and electrical explosions
are a very powerful force in the times of hippies.
