  This show deserves more recognition! Choreography, music, talent, audience interaction, and a great band! A local story comes to life in a very creative way! You are transported back in time.

  Tonya & Nancy: The Rock Opera a stunning visual and sonic experience, a riveting hour-long motion poem and roller coaster ride into American hyperculture. The show presents the exploits of Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan, following the whack on Kerrigan’s knee heard around the world, and the aftermath. Be prepared for an exhilarating theater-in-the- round experience. There is no fourth wall. The Ensemble dances a deft line between performance and audience, sometimes darting in to engage us in playful, but direct ways, like bright threads stitching spectator and participant, real time and story time. Tonya & Nancy speaks to the fleetness of fame, the rise & fall of our cultural heroes and heroines, how close we skate to the edge of our lives, and the soul-barter with our shadow selves. High marks for Librettist Elizabeth Searle, Choreographer Janet Ruston, and Composer Michael Teoli. A wise and entertaining cautionary tale. — + — Richard Cambridge is curator of the Poets’ Theatre at the Arts at the Armory in Somerville, MA. Collapse
