- Our Price:
- $20.00 - $25.00
Center Theatre Group presents the world premiere of Marco Ramirez's The Royale at L.A.'s Kirk Douglas Theatre. Boxer Jay "The Sport" Jackson wants a shot at the world title. Trouble is, he's living in a time when blacks and whites did not face off in the ring. But he's out to win at any cost, no matter what the consequences. So he comes out swinging, slinging words in a spectacular barrage of rhythm and heat, language and adrenaline, sinew and swagger. The question is, will he -- and those he loves -- be strong enough to handle the responsibility that comes with the recognition from this unprecedented undertaking? With muscular storytelling, syncopated dialogue and emotional right hooks, you'll feel like you're sitting ringside. Learn More

Written on Apr 20 2009the overall experience was full and very engaging. the actors/singers, even without props, costumes and scenery, were fantastic! the story, although it gets bogged down in too many songs, (fantastic songs!) showed good insight into what happens when you lie! i thought there could be more done with iago's motivation...seemed a little unclear. and in general, the production was just too long. maybe some of the drama can be put into a sequel...which i would attend as i hope to attend the full production of venice. matt saxe...is a genius! i am sorry i couldn't stay for the audience talk, but the lateness of the hour and the drive i had ahead of me made it impossible. i hope these comments get to the production people!

Written on Apr 17 2009They did mention that this musical was still in the works. I gave it a chance. Its a good start. But I left during intermission. Still needs work.

Written on Apr 17 2009This was as good as any theater I've seen this year. The singers were amazing and so was the music. Every word was understandable. A truly creeative musical! I want to see it again when it's ready for regular theatergoers.
