JOHN CANTWELL's CONNIE LOVES JUICE is a fast-paced, toe-tapping, spoofy, high-camp, clever show will have you grinning from ear to ear and loving every minute. Imagine "Grease", "Roller Boogie", "Saturday Night Fever", "Carrie" and "Rosemary's Baby" edited together by a blind man and you get why audiences, including trailblazers like PET SHOP BOYS, FRED SCHNEIDER of the B-52's, PAUL REUBENS, RUPAUL and "Hedwig" creator JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL, love Connie!
"With so many smart storylines and dramatic twists and turns crammed into a high-energy production that runs for less than an hour, CONNIE LOVES JUICE proves utterly disarming and a feast of pure entertainment." Pauline Adamek, ArtsBeatLA
Hirsute flashdancer Connie Slocum (JOHN CANTWELL, "Legally Blonde", "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist") is looking for love at the local Roller Disco and she just might find it in the form of superstar skating stud, Juice (L.A. night club legend MARIO DIAZ). But that will only happen over the dead body of mean girl Gianelli ("Madonnalogues" superstar NADYA GINSBURG), Juice's #1 groupie, in a finale show down straight out of a Brian DePalma film. The show also stars LOU BECKER, KRISTIN CAMPBELL-TAYLOR & JENNIFER DOHN as Connie's sassy cat, Vickie.
"Looking like the lost lovechild of Iggy Pop & Connie Britton, Cantwell's Connie is pure absurdist drag camp on the comic surface, but beneath lays a complex heroine with heart and soul of John Waters' proportions. Baltimore gave us Francine Fishpaw; L.A. gave rise to Connie. If the Los Angeles theatre scene were a Dada-ist heart-shaped box of chocolates, Connie would be the cherry cordial." Xaque Gruber, Huffington Post
Being that CONNIE LOVES JUICE has no dialogue, Cantwell uses the backing tunes as narrative to drive his romance-horror-soap opera through dance, film homages, pop culture references and the brilliant photography of DUSTI CUNNINGHAM. It features the choreography of BENJAMIN ALLEN (Groov3) and cast members Becker, Taylor, Diaz & Cantwell.
Enjoy this 5th Anniversary of what Frontiers magazine called a "groundbreaking" show at the Cavern Club Feb. 9, 10, 16, 17, 23 & 24! |
