ColoradoBoulevard.net says our new comedy about the Star Wars Holiday Special is “SPECIAL” Fare for Fun-Loving Space Nerds…our ideal target demographic! (And check out SpecialThePlay.com for info & tickets to our FINAL TWO WEEKENDS!
“Six talented actors play practically half of Hollywood as they slip into the personas of various actors, directors, writers, producers and executives (a total of 44 characters). Jennifer Hugus plays a level-headed Marcia Lucas as well as the bubbly, songwriting Mitzi. Paris Benjamin portrays a young, glassy-eyed Carrie Fisher, and Lance Guest takes on a moody Harrison Ford. Alex Elliot-Funk plays the flamboyant comedian Bruce and also acts as the story’s unofficial narrator. Marty Yu is particularly exciting to watch as his ten characters differ most broadly. His best scenes are when two of his characters engage in a dialogue — it’s quite the comical achievement. Finally, Rich Lehman is hilarious in his nuanced portrayal of a stony-faced George Lucas. Aaron Saldana’s video design helps set the scene right off the bat…The show is a good time for fans of Star Wars. You do not have to have seen The Star Wars Holiday Special to enjoy it, but a love for the franchise is a must. So sit back, relax, and — as they say in this show — “May the Force Bea Arthur.”
