| The Donkey Show |
Presented by American Repertory Theater at Oberon
June 18, 2010 - Ongoing
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

"Absolute fun!"
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

The music was really good, the singing bad, not much acting, a bit confusing not easy to follow. There is a long line outside to get in the theatre. The dancers were entertaining and some of them... Expand

I am your grandmother and I am a Shakespeare scholar and I had a hell of a good time at the ART this evening. I was nursing babies in the 70's, so I have no idea what that music was about, but I... Expand

I love Theater with a capital T as much as the next gal, and this wasn't it... but it was a ton of fun! Lots of sexy actors go-going around in cool costumes, fully-committed comic improv interaction,... Expand

"The A.R.T. Shakes its Ass"
Review posted by: Bill Marx at theartsfuse from Somerville, MA, Sep 21, 2009
The impression left by Diane Paulus's fun (given your level of tolerance for disco, high-priced drinks, and Shakespearean kitsch) but vapid debut production/disco dance party suggests that theater may... Expand
