WINE AND BEER BAR - MUST BE OVER 21

"Can only be described as all-encompassing, wet, interactive, loud, extreme, and altogether awesome." - la2day.com
"The worse it gets, the better it gets. Sensationally idiotic." - Seattle P-I Theatre
"The fact that the movie is a surf saga and doesn't necessarily lend itself to an adaptation for the stage is what makes the show all the more ridiculous and a must-see." SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Point Break LIVE! turns out to be a wild ride." - SF Weekly
HustlerofCulture.com proclaims "Point Break LIVE!" is the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' for our generation.
"In a nutshell: About the most dead-on dose of hilarity to ever be on stage." - LA.COM

READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY TICKETS OR YOU MAY REGRET IT!!! KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO! IT'S A HIGH ACTION, OVER-THE-TOP, NO HOLDS BARRED PERFORMANCE THAT HAS 'BANK ROBBERS' THROWING AUDIENCE MEMBERS ONTO THE FLOOR AND SURFERS SPITTING BLOOD AND THROWING WATER ON PEOPLE: HENCE, THE PONCHOS IN THE SURVIVOR KITS. THIS SHOW IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH, UPTIGHT, FAINT OF HEART, OR THE EASILY OFFENDED. THEATER SNOBS PROBABLY WON'T GET IT. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TRADITIONAL THEATER EXPERIENCE - STAY THE F**K AWAY FROM THIS SHOW.

Point Break LIVE!, the absurdist stage adaptation of the 1992 Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze extreme-sports blockbuster, returns to its roots: Los Angeles, "bank robbery capital of the world," where "a lot has changed in the last 20 years - the air got dirty and the sex got clean."

Yes, L.A. is where the action went down in Point Break back in 1992, and it's happening all over again with a new twist.

Point Break LIVE!, the Brechtian blockbuster which garnered a "Seattle P-I Best of Seattle 2004" award, as well as rave reviews across the nation, tells the story of former college football star Johnny Utah -- Keanu Reeves in the film -- who goes in pursuit of the surfing, bankrobbing, skydiving, bare-hand-fighting adrenaline-junkie-cum-Zen-master Bodhi Sattva. The show features armed robbery, big-wave surfing, car chases, explosions, and no less than two extended skydiving sequences.

Best of all, the starring role of Keanu will be selected at random from the audience each night, with the lucky winner reading their entire script off of cue-cards. This method manages to capture the rawness of a Keanu Reeves performance even from those who generally think themselves incapable of acting.

Sold out in extended runs in Seattle, Minneapolis, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. LIVE THE RIDE!!

What are other members saying?

Waste of Time
This show was awful. Dont waste your time or money. Even drunk there was nothing fun about it. Me and my boyfriend got completely drenched and I left the show totally bruised from some asshole cast member smacking my arms as he jumped all over the seats like a deranged monkey.

I purchased tickets two weeks ago to see Point Break Live in Chicago and at the last min the day before the show I was going to see I received an email saying there is no more byob because people are getting out of control and to drunk, so instead they will be SELLING beer and mix drinks. I sent an email back saying this is bs and they should just regulate the amount of beer people can bring in, like a six pack or less and no hard liquor. This way you can see a show and not pay an arm and a leg for a couple of drinks. The director Eve Hars wrote me back and said F***K OFF and called me an A**Hole and said they are refunding my money. LOL I have never been kick out of any show in my life and I think Eve Hars response was one of the most ridiculous responses I have ever heard in my life. How do you get kick out of a show before you ever go, just for having an opinion? I think Eve Hars was drinking to much when she wrote me that email.
