WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

POINT BREAK LIVE! RETURNS RELOADED TO THE CHICAGO. MARCH 18- MAY 7 ONLY!!!!



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.

What are other members saying?

BYOB
I purchased tickets two weeks ago to see Point Break 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 opinoin? I think Eve Hars was drinking to much when she wrote me that email lol.

RE:Freaking sweet
Exactly what we hoped it would be. Hilarious and insane and certainly not sober... everyone on earth who loved the original Point Break needs to see this immediately. I laughed so hard I pooped a little. Which, actually, fits right in w/ the show.... yeah. Good times. "VAYA CON DIOS!"
