The Donkey Show

The Donkey Show

Presented by American Repertory Theater at Oberon

June 18, 2010-May 29, 2011

From its six-year run in New York City to a world tour from London to Seoul, the celebrated smash hit The Donkey Show now takes Boston by storm, bringing the ultimate disco experience – a crazy circus of mirror balls and feathered divas, of roller skaters and hustle queens. Come party on the dance floor to all the 70s disco hits you know by heart as the show unfolds around you. The Donkey Show tells the story of A Midsummer Night’s Dream through the great 70s anthems, including “We are Family,” “I Love the Nightlife,” “Car Wash,” “Ring My Bell,” and “Last Dance.” The enchanted forest of Shakespeare’s classic comedy becomes the glittered world of retro disco as the lovers escape from their real lives to experience a night of dream, abandon, and fantasy.

Directed by Diane Paulus

    A terrific show, combining the fanaticism of the Red Sox Nation with a look at the city's history and reputation with the player community.

    Review posted by: newtonma from Newton, MA, Jul 05, 2010

    Johnny Baseball was a broadway quality production. On the surface it's a great musical for any baseball lover, especially a Red Sox fan. But it goes much deeper than that, looking at race issues in... Expand

    What a wonderful show! The actors were top notch and their singing was wonderful. The actor playing Babe Ruth practically stole the show! My favorite tune I think was the two young players singing Mr.... Expand

    Review posted by: Glen Kewley from Boston, MA, Jun 07, 2010

    One of the best things to happen to Boston nightlife in years. The show is fun, upbeat, and shakes the cobwebs off puritanical and provincial Boston. A.R.T. has another great adaptation of a... Expand

    In a wonderful case of art imitating life, the doubleheader dramas of two perfect games played themselves out last evening in two venerable American cities. In Detroit, an imperfect call spoiled a... Expand
