I found a BBQ Pit thread about it, but nothing here.
We went, we were amused, the hubby was somewhat weirded out that he just spent $45 a ticket to watch men play with their penises. Hey, just think of THAT when you plop $60 at a strip club to watch a lady play with HERself!
All in all, I was amused. Aside from the actual “puppetry,” it was just a funny show.
It is a bit odd, and may be a bit of Emperor’s New Clothing…but regardless, I laughed pretty damn hard.
They just make various shapes with the penis, scrotum, and testicles. Best known is the Hamburger…but they also do two variations of The Woman, as well as a hot dog, snail, squirrel, Loch Ness Monster, windsurfing, etc.
I saw “The Vagina Monologues,” but thankfully it was all oral interpretation, with no nudity.
But some of that “oral” stuff – wow!!! For instance, an older Broadway actress giving a demonstration of different moans! As one of the other actresses said, “I need a cigarette!”
Actually, it sounds to me like “Puppetry” had nothing at all to do with sex, despite the nudity.
In Conceivable, I hate to say it…but we got the idea to see it when we saw it on the ANS show (which I must qualify with saying it was the third time we’ve ever seen the show).
And you know, the theater is just up the street from that annoying Bobby Trendy’s store.
Some of my friends saw it here in Australia. They said it was pretty darn funny, but the tickets were overpriced, all things considered.
For the curious, there was an email circulating a while back (here in Aus, at least), that, uh, documented the “origami”. I’m sure it could be Googled up.
BTW, the plural of “penis” is, apparently, “penises” or “penes”.
Well, I have to say I own snapshot of the poster for the show- I spent a couple days in London and ran accross promo’s for it on the street there. I was desperately curious about it, but didn’t have the time or $$ to go that trip. I hadn’t even realized that I could see it here, Calloo Callay!
