Freakstar Entertainment at the Lillian Theatre

Reviewed by Les Spindle

June 22, 2010


Writer-performer Dylan Jones heads an offbeat musical entertainment, supported by four able dancer-singers (Jay Willick, Addison Witt, Tara Norris, Kaiti Tronnes), under Aryiel Hartman's direction. Jones is superior to her acid-trip material, which suggests a cross between "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" and "Lady in the Dark." When diva entertainer Mathilde (Jones) admits to a crisis of confidence, she undergoes past-life-regression therapy to find herself, experiencing a series of bizarre misadventures. The songs are primarily lifted from classic Broadway shows. The rewritten lyrics are awkwardly imposed, and the songs seldom fit their contexts or work as parodies.

Presented by Freakstar Entertainment at the Lillian Theatre, 1076 Lillian Way, Hollywood. Sat., June 19, 2 p.m.; Sun., June 20, 2 and 8:30 p.m.; Wed., June 23, 9:30 p.m.; Sat., June 26, 3:30 p.m. (866) 811-4111. www.hollywoodfringe.org.
