Kathleen Turner in Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins
- Full Price:
- $67.00 - $87.00
- Our Price:
- $34.50 - $44.50
The Geffen Playhouse presents the story of Molly Ivins, the outspoken sharp-witted Texas reporter whose liberal journalism brought her national fame and a job at The New York Times, where she wrote Elvis Presley's obituary. Two-time Tony and Oscar nominee Kathleen Turner plays the fiery redhead, a self-proclaimed "pain in the ass to whatever powers come to be." Though The New York Times had hired Ivins to bring life to its staid writing style, her political edginess and controversial social commentary eventually proved to be too much, and Ivins moved on to Texas papers that embraced her sharp-tongued humor. This acclaimed show captures Ivins' unique character using personal anecdotes and her colorful take on national politics. Learn More

Fun evening out with the "girls!" More than just a drag show with more than just one storyline to follow! Most dynamic thread in the script followed Jan (Cher Ferreyra) and Philip (Jeremy Lucas). Cher's Jan was a likable character from the moment she walked out onto stage. The emotional connections with other characters and comedic timing of the delivery of so many lines endeared her to the audience. Without spoiling anything, the versatility with which Mr. Lucas played this rarely depicted character type was amazing to watch. To dance, act, and sing, between the revolving door of costume changes had to be difficult, but he pulled it off with a polished finesse. We really enjoyed this show and think it will appeal to many different kinds of audiences! WELL DONE!Written on Jun 08 2009

Typically we enjoy small theater productions for their honesty, talent, and ingenuity. Too bad this wasn't one of those productions. Their is some big talent, but the story is far too complex, the choreography is amateurish, costuming is uninspired, and the music is very junior high production. I don't like saying "It's bad", but "It's bad".Written on Jun 26 2009

I did not feel that the characters were developed enough. The acting and singing was a little "cheezy".Written on Jun 16 2009

You're in for a lot of fun from start to finish! The brother and sister duo (DT Matias & Cher Ferreyra) and their drag queen boyfriends (Tony Melson & Jeremy Lucas) were my favorite parts of the show. Lucas and Ferreyra's characters are especially compelling because, come on, how often do you follow the story of a straight drag queen? The chemistry between these two is dynamic and touching. It's not Shakespeare or Broadway, but it is a lot of laughs from ALL of the drag queens and it does have heart. A special mention must be made about Nabor Arias Jr.'s drag queen character.....a real hoot!!!Written on Jun 05 2009
