Quote of the Day

“I remember staying up  late many Saturday nights to watch Porky’s, Meatballs and Revenge of the Nerds on HBO. And like any, red-blooded, prepubescent male, I always thought there was way too much story between the shower scenes. This is my chance to fix that.” — Troy Heard, writer, co-lyricist and director of Summer Camp! The Musical (music by Angela Chan), which plays Aug. 10-26 at the Onyx Theatre. Heard is fresh off  a sold-out smash with The Great American Trailer Park Musical. Can he make the jump from Sahara Avenue to the Strip? Sirc Michaels‘ production of Evil Dead 4-D already did so and Michaels’ Awesome 80s Prom premiered at Planet Hollywood. Meanwhile, imported Surf The Musical appears to be sucking wind (‘twofer’ ticket offers in its second week, fer crissakes). Its only favorable pull quote? From incorrigible sycophant and quote whore Robin Leach, who else?
