Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly.

270 - The Smell of the Kill

Tonight was Limelight's night; went down to see their production of "The Smell of the Kill."  The show is in their studio theatre, which is a smaller theatre, black box.  It's a cast of 6, but only 3 are on stage - the women.  The men are voices only.  Definately dark comedy. One online review of the show (in another city) said this of the show, "...this show is part "Desperate Housewives", part "I Love Lucy", and part "Stepford Wives.""

After reading the Actor Bios, I was very interested in the actress playing Nicky.  Lizzie's resume includes Broadway National Tours and many Regional Theatre productions.  She did not disappoint; in fact, she was fabulous!  I loved the physical comedy in the show.  A one point, Beth (Molly) had Cathy (Debra) in a deadlock, and then jumped on her back as Debra tried to get away.  What a hoot!

This is a perfect show for a small stage.  There are no set changes; the show is set in the kitchen of Nicky's home.

Yea, Limelight!  Sold out crowd on a Tuesday night. 
TTFN!
