The production, directed by VC co-founder Robert Ross Parker, pulls out all the stops in telling its bizarre but sometimes affecting story: French and American rap music, puppetry, kung fu, L.A. jokes, dick jokes, video projection. The six-person cast is required to sing, dance, clown, and trick itself out in one outrageous costume after another. All this unfolds at high speed, propelled by Qui Nguyen’s comic book-like dialogue, which takes liberties with history, time, and believability yet manages to be consistently laugh-out-loud funny and entertaining.
