After selling out three of our four performances so far, the public is coming around to what we knew the whole time: Willy Nilly is psychogroovatronadelafreakic. For your delectation, here is this week’s roundup of press – all of it is great, actually, even the one negative review from the guy who was offended (it’s an offensive show!). Still here it all is, in a rough spectrum from rave to grave:
Over at Off-Off Blogway, Ludlow Lad makes us a Fringe recommendation and calls the production “outstanding”: http://ooblogway.blogspot.com/2009/08/fringenyc-2009-recommendations-part-2.html
In the midst of a rigorous grokking of the show at the ComicCritique Blog, Friend of Piper Adam McGovern calls Willy “the most hilarious show about brainwashing and ritual slaughter you may see all month!”: http://blog.comiccritique.com/?p=72
Fusion on the Fly revisits the show and says it has “hit potential” – “It is wild, free wheeling and a little 'off' in a good way”: http://chefprivato.blogspot.com/2009/08/fringe-actor-promotionsmore-eats-and.html
Esteemed colleague Michael Roderick, over at One Producer in the City, says “With crazy music, a twist on a dream ballet you have to see to believe, and plenty of double entendre, this is a show that truly lives on the Fringe”: http://oneproducerinthecity.typepad.com/one_producer_in_the_city/2009/08/oh-a-fringeing-i-will-go.html
Trav S.D. gets the bigshot interview treatment at Paper Magazine: http://www.papermag.com/blogs/2009/08/stage_notes_willy_nilly.php
Jeff Lewonczyk is given full rein to talk till he’s blue in the face on Playbill Radio: http://www.playbillradio.com/podcast/podcast.html?item_id=1406
Patrick Lee at Just Shows To Go You says, “My reaction to this one-act musical went from mild amusement to annoyed tolerance to outright loathing within 20 minutes… a new low in cynicism.” That’s hard to top: http://justshowstogoyou.com/blog/2009/08/23/willy-nilly/
