Some look at things that are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not.

BoyGroove

--------------------

just saw the show last weekend... Richard Ouzonian's review is right on the money:

"Even if you've never owned an album by 'NSync, you'll find plenty to laugh at in Boygroove, the 80-minute pop culture romp currently running at the Diesel Playhouse in Toronto. Author Chris Craddock has cleverly catalogued the rise and fall of four feckless young men who become superstars, with nothing to recommend them but good looks and the ability to sing close harmonies. There's bad boy Jon, hot guy Kevin, sensitive Andrew and the, er, gifted one, Lance.


With titles like "You Make My Hips Buck, Baby," composer Aaron Macri's tunes sound almost like the ones you've heard on radio, only with deceptively satiric lyrics. Kay Grigar has provided choreography close enough to the real thing for authenticity, but exaggerated enough to bring the house down with laughter. But what makes this show leave a smile on your face for hours afterwards is the work of the boys themselves. The cast (Matt Alden, Andrew Bursey, Jon Paterson and Scott Walters) are all ace performers. BoyGroove is definitely something to recommend to anyone looking for a fun night out on the town."
