The most recent Troubie show (Troubadour Theater Company), Alice in One-Hit Wonderland, Part 2 was as good as it gets in Troubieland - it was freakin' funny! Their wit and athleticism was solid as ever, and the whole effort was tighter than some recent shows. This time, the story was about Alice Nelson (her last name was news to this 46 year old who grew up with the Brady Bunch) dreaming her way through Wonderland. The one hit wonders (particularly Sunshine Day and the Humpty Dance) and the Brady Bunch episode references were great and timely to the story.
This may be the first Troubie performance with no penalty flags throw, and most of us who are veteran Troubie watchers would prefer more adlibbing (especially with Beth Kennedy getting so much stage time), but the cleverness of the story and the writing made this show extremely fun.
The point of this entry is not to do a full review, it's merely to tell my fellow Los Angelenos to don your Burbankian garb and race to the Falcon Theater in Burbank as soon as possible.
Troubies - see you in September for the U2 show.
