New West celebrates with styleNew West Theatre is celebrating their twentieth anniversary in style with their new production “Celebration,” which runs until Aug. 29 at the Yates Theatre. It is a blast, an uptempo, a little bit raunchy but still family friendly production full of classic songs, fabulous singing, and some gut-busting hilarious comedy bits. The sow features guys dressed as girls, guys dressed as cows and even featured performer Erica Hunt taking a turn on the drum kit. They get bonus points for performing two songs by Ontario comedy troupe the Arrogant Worms — “I am Cow” which featured Grahame Renyk dressed as the cow and not liking the idea of being milked and a hillbilly version of the Worms” classic “Happy Birthday” song. But the show started with a grandiose version of Kool and the Gang’s “Celebration” which saw the cast going on stage through the crowd which was full of people who came to the show from as far away as England and China. One of the guests ended up on stage doing sound effects during a well done take -off on classic radio plays. |
