The concept is cute, but the cast could not sing, ouch.Written on May 02 2011
Too bad, but we did have an entertaining discussion afterwards wondering if we had seen anything worse.

This was the most fun I've had at a play in a long time!Written on Apr 05 2011
Very inventive and engaging; well-cast and well-performed.
"Connie" needs a microphone, though. Sometimes she is hard to hear among the other singers and the band.
The band was totally awesome and deserves to be out where we can see them.

The best part about the show was some of the performances by the cast members. Especially Sal Cecere. The other lead guy had a great voice, and the Mary Kay representative was hilarious. The lead gal was boring. Some of the script was clever, and a couple of the songs were real fun, but overall it was a weak script. Also, the pacing (director's fault) was way too slow. Do go see the show for a few sparkling characters!Written on Apr 05 2011

Sorry to say that I did not enjoy the show. It's a fun idea. But the songs all sounded alike. The best voice was Sal Cecere. The cast worked very hard to keep it up. There just wasn't a good book or lyrics there for them.Written on Apr 05 2011

- "...the well-written songs in Lust 'n Rust, which pay tribute to blue-collar life, remain the musical's selling point. Haney, Kimball and Stratton have a deft hand around a ballad as well as the upbeat numbers." --Chicago Sun-Times
- "...feisty and stirring country music... These hit songs don't even need dialogue to support them."--Chicago Tribune
Description
Lust ‘n Rust, The Trailer Park Musical starts as the story of Steve, a corporate manager from New Jersey who is transferred by his company to a small Southern Illinois town to run the local Agribig food processing plant. He moves into the Redbud Mobile Estates and meets the quirky characters that live in the trailer park. We soon find that the story is also about Connie, Steve’s neighbor in the park, who is in the process of splitting up with her husband. Connie’s relationship with Steve complicates matters, and their lives are further complicated when Steve gets a difficult assignment … one that could have a disastrous impact on the local economy. Lust ‘n Rust, written by Frank Haney, Carol Kimball & Dave Stratton and directed by Thomas Colby, is a West Coast premiere.
