BWW Review: TOTALLY ELECTRIC Is Like, So Totally Rad and Bad (but not in the good way)
by Matt Tamanini
- Sep 11, 2015
The 1980s are often remembered as the era of over-produced power-ballads, bright neon colors, ozone offending hair, superficial beauty, and obnoxiously shallow people. For better or for worse, TOTALLY ELECTRIC, Gen Y Productions latest musical, falls victim to many of the least desirable traits of the decade that it sets out to lampoon. Fortunately however, the show, playing at The Abbey in Downtown Orlando through September 28th, is also buoyed by some of the decade's most hummable songs from the likes of R.E.O. Speedwagon, The Go-Go's, and Tiffany, with a little Reba McEntire thrown in for good measure.
BWW Review: Chicago Premiere of GLORY DAYS Captures Sweet Agony of Adolescent Friendship
by Rachel Weinberg
- Sep 1, 2015
Refuge Theatre Project's production of contemporary musical GLORY DAYS may be the only show I ever see that features four male actors drinking Natty Ice onstage. And yet in a musical about four best high school friends who reunite for the first time after their freshman year away at college, this seems like a perfectly natural activity. In moments like this, GLORY DAYS accurately and earnestly captures that in-between space between childhood and adulthood, and the odd feeling when home no longer feels like home but college doesn't yet feel comfortable, either. But like the adolescent characters in the musical, young composer-lyricists Nick Blaemire and James Gardner's musical suffers from some growing pains.

Men under the age of 25 are hardly the demographic for attending Broadway musicals, let alone writing one, but Nick Blaemire and James Gardiner did just that when their musical Glory Days ran on Broadway in May 2008.
