Great moment at the start of Act 2, from the taper “during the jail scene when the Matron says "exercise!" and they all start to do jumping jacks.. Alexa started her jumping jacks and her harmonica flew up out of her pocket and without losing a beat she caught it and continued the scene. It was a riot. She was laughing.” 2 DVDs A-

Harry Potter: A Very Potter Musical
2009 ~ University of Michigan
Darren Criss, Joey Richter, Bonnie Gruesen, Jamie Lyn Beatty, Lauren Lopez, Joe Walker, Dylan Saunders, Joe Moses
HP the Musical was written and produced in early 2009 by a bunch of college kids/recent grads through a non-profit student run theatre company.The songs were written by Darren Criss (who plays Harry Potter) and AJ Holmes (who plays piano in the band).The script was written by Matt Lang (who also directed the show), Nick Lang (who assistant directed and made the dragon puppet) and Brian Holden (who was busy working at a real job while the rest of us were making a goofy play).The full credits (including actor and tech credits) are at the end of the last video. HP the Musical was a completely non-for-profit parody show made by Potter-fans for Potter-fans. All of us involved love the books immensely (and strongly encourage everyone to read them if you haven't) and it is with the utmost admiration that we celebrate and poke fun at them with this musical adaptation.

Very clear quality, filmed around a head from the right orchestra. Intersting production. Rather "modern" look and synthesized sound. The woman playing Dolly has an interesting singing voice, although you don't hear much of it since she unfortunately speak-sings most of her lines. Still worth a look, though. *IN DUTCH*

Homme Fatale: The Fast Life And Slow Death Of Joey Stefano
1998 ~ Sydney, Australia
Shane C. Rodrigo. A Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras presentation of a play in one act by Barry Lowe. "Joey Stefano was a gay porn star in the 1980s. This play is the tale of his rise and ultimate demise. With a cast consisting solely of Shane C. Rodrigo, this Brechtesque show is not for the faint-hearted, with drug use and nudity prominent throughout. Rodrigo's performance is good considering the play is a 90-minute-long solo effort. He builds a rapport with the audience (especially with the front row during the striptease). He effectively portrays the porn world's objectification: ``Come back when you've got breasts as big as Dolly Parton's, a penis enlargement and perfect teeth, honey!''. One of the most gripping scenes is when Stefano accepts a penis-shaped award in a tuxedo coat with no pants and talks into the microphone about how lonely he is. This scene ends with a little boy's voice begging his father not ``to make me do it'', a reference to sexual abuse." Filmed using multiple cameras. Contains nudity, adults only. A
