| The
Donkey Show is billed as "a Midsummer Night's disco":
it's very loosely based on Shakespeare's magical play. It's also a
musical in the very loosest of senses: there are songs and dances, and
there's even the germ of a story, but mostly this is interactive
disco, with scantily-clad fairies (all but one male, despite the
accompanying photo provided by the production) and two pairs of
mismatched young lovers (all played by females) clamoring among the
audience on the dance floor before eventually making their way to the
stage to perform their numbers. Drinks are allowed (encouraged); most
audience members mill about before, during, and after the show proper;
willing audience members may find themselves dancing with the cast at
some point during the festivities. Songs are disco hits from the '70s
like "I Love the Nightlife." Overall, it feels much more
like De La Guarda than a traditional musical show. Must be 18 or older to get in (21 for late night weekend performances) |
