      Fun, silly, great for those who enjoyed “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and all the musicals of non-musical movies like “Silence of the Lambs,” etc. as well as those who like a fast-paced, creative, rather wacky show with catchy music, good dancing, great costumes, and equally talented performers.

      Although there were primary players, because the talent was so even, everyone was a star, I really enjoyed that aspect, no one dominated. Sometimes the story gets a little fuzzy, but it doesn’t matter, they bring you back to the main theme, and it’s just so entertaining to watch and listen you get into the campiness.

      It’s the future – a future that the mysterious conglomerate “Monocorp” has dominated and determined that part of their evil plan will be that sex will be solo, with its “safe” new pseudo-sex product, the “Love Light” (I want one!) or with robots made in the image of mysteriously disappeared rock stars (I will also volunteer to test the robots for them). There’s an underground club where the fallen popsters plot to dethrone Monocorp’s CEO and overcome the impending doom of the world.

      A fun satirical romp – enjoy the visuals, the music, the colors, the movement, the crazy characters – the real as well as the robotic, and have some good laughs in the lounge-type seats.
