Gay Rap Opera, BASH’d, opens in NYC to hip hoppin’ reviews
”And while it may initially seem strange to see two white boys performing gay rap, any misgivings soon give way thanks largely to the duo’s high-energy performance, which is oftentimes simply explosive.” — Theatre Mania reviewer Dan Balcazo.
”As one of the lyrics proclaims, ‘it’s Romeo meets Romeo,’ complete with an ample supply of scatological language, swaggering attitude and a keen, often hilarious sense of observation about gay life.” — Associated Press reviewer Michael Kuchwara.
Reviews of the musical production, ”Bash’d,” a rap opera featuring T-Bag (Chris Craddock) and Feminem (Nathan Cuckow), telling the story of two gay lovers whose relationship is marred by violence. Music samples are on the web at myspace.com/bashd, and more info at homohiphop.blogspot.com. (cbd.ca)
