The Best View in Town, One Great Show and One Less Great


Does she have a view of the city, or what?



There are only two shows left, both tonight, to see Yes, Sweet Can. This bunch of high energy circus performers are a ton of fun and the show is right here at the Mission Dance Theater. You'll love it. You can read the SF Theater Blog Review here, and expect to OOOH and AHHH.



What if Deepak Chopra got his start on the lot selling Chevy Novas? Rick Reynolds' new solo show at the Marsh is supposed to be inspirational, but we found it a little creepy. It has been extended, so people must be enjoying it. You can read the SF Theater Blog Review here.

It may be that the solo performer arc is heading to the finish line. The formula is so familiar now for so many writer/soloists: Discuss horrible childhood. Show how horrible childhood screwed you up. Show how you overcame your horrible childhood. End with homily about how horrible childhood isn't really so horrible. Sing We Shall Overcome (but don't do it in farsi, Joan Baez already beat you to it).

OK, the red floating woman with the blue ribbon shooting through her is a bit too creepy.
