LOLPERA

This show is amazing!!!! Such a great concept and extremely well executed. There were times in which the stage seemed a bit crowded by the large ensemble and some of the cast members seemed to have difficulty consistently reaching their notes. Beyond that, I think this show is fun, smart, most definitely epic, and has unbelievable potential to be something truly spectacular!!!... full review

Epic is an understatement! If you're interested in seeing a show with phenomenal wit and a musical score that will leave your mind completely blown, look no further. LOLPERA is going places. Big places. Srsly.... full review

I was worried I wouldn't get the jokes in this play, but I needn't have worried. I laughed all the way through, but what I'll remember even more than that is how amazing the music was. 8 piece band, tremendous cast, a huge epic story of good and evil, love and loss. Yes, it's all played for comedy, but it's actually quite moving.

A really remarkable achievement and a hugely enjoyable theatrical accomplishment.... full review

A hysterical concept that will have you LOLing all over the place and tons of catchy tunes that you will be singing as you are leaving the theatre!... full review

I have seen the future. And it is ruled by cats. At least it is in Ellen Warkentine and Andrew Pedroza’s LOLPERA, a fantastical absurdist opera that uses the internet phenomenon lolcats set to music to tell its story. Yes, you heard that right! Inspired by, and made up entirely of, captions from the hilarious photos found on the I Can Has Cheezburger website, an anti-utopian planet of cat urchins is caught between the forces of good and evil in the year 2084. It’s a world where Basement Cat (Angel Correa) will do anything to steal your soul, where Astro Cat (Michael Burdge) searches the universe for the holy grail of Catcotopia (the elusive cheezburger), and where omniscient Ceiling Cat (Steve Sornbutnark) is always watching you...
