| Legit Reviews: The story in Frank Zappa's "Joe's Garage" is broad with deliberate satirical intent, addressing seriously and presciently the themes of artistic expression vs. government repression and the various ways sex can be used to dehumanize. Pat Towne and Michael Franco's adaptation of "Garage" into a two-act musical is properly respectful of its source material, and the world premiere production by the Open Fist Theater Company is lively and provocative, with a committed cast. Most importantly, the impressive seven-piece band delivers with finesse and power, making this show a must-see for rock 'n' roll fans. |
