Byuioo
written by: Nate Weida
directed by: David J. Sorrellis
Michelle and I went to see Byuioo this past Friday. It was showing at The Mazer Theatre as part of the Fringe NYC Festival.
It's a musical loosely based on the Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, sung entirely in gibberish. Very cool production with some very well written music and terrific choreography. The concept is fresh. I could definitely see this having some sort of Off Broadway run. It's quirky enough to appeal to the Blue Man Group / De la Guarda crowd. Interestingly enough, most of the cast were from North Carolina, including the writer Nate Weida. Seems he was a graduate of the Chapel Hill High School. (The director was his teacher there.)
It was inspiring to see such an original work.

This has nothing to do with the most recent post...but...does this blog belong to the person that I think it does?
