SHOW INFORMATION
Opened Nov 19, 2009
Closed Jan 3, 2010
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Banana Shpeel is a roller-coaster mix of styles that blends comedy with tap, hip hop, eccentric dance and slapstick, all linked by a hilarious narrative that ignites a succession of wacky adventures. This is not circus, or a musical or a variety show, or even vaudeville. It is Banana Shpeel!
Propelled by crazy humor and intense choreography, Banana Shpeel plunges us into the world of Shmelky, a cruel and irritable producer who dangles fame and fortune in front of Emmett, an innocent and romantic actor who has come to audition for him. Emmett soon finds himself trapped in a flamboyant, anarchic world where Shmelky sows terror and reigns supreme. Emmett falls in love with the beautiful Katie and meets a bunch of absurd characters, including the strange Banana Man. But who is this mysterious Banana Man and how can Emmett escape the clutches of Shmelky and his henchmen?

RE:Amazing
I have watched the show 5 times now and it keeps getting better. My favorite is the lead singer, Alexis Sims. They need to incorporate more songs for her. She is powerful. Watch out, you have a diamond glowing. The dancers and costumes are out of this world. Dima is mouth watering and quite talented as are the other acrobats. I laugh so hard when i see Claudio, Patrick, and the old man.
Bottom line - tighten up the clowning, bring on more singing and dancing, and keep all of the acrobatic acts.
