 Performance Hell         Revenge Of The Red Shoes

Performance Hell

Synopsis:
Performance Hell turns out to be just what its name implies: the place where bad performers go when they die. In the dozen sketches that make up Performance Hell, the breathtakingly funny and smart "avante-vaudeville" from the Baby Jump Project, we encounter several of the condemned. There's a young man spending eternity auditioning for a part in front of a director, assistant director, and, way up in the balcony, a janitor who, he knows, hates him. There's a former child star reduced to playing bass in a polka band. a woman working in a nightclub in Performance Hell sings "Danny Boy"--in the wrong key--over and over and over; at the end of each chorus, she checks her watch and it's always ten minutes to two: she has five more minutes till the end of her set. Performance Hell is as surreal and bizarre as, I hope, these examples suggest. Our host (sort of) is a slippery, unctuous fellow in a pinstripe suit with Ed Grimley hair and bright red nails; try to imagine Wayne Newton as the MC in Cabaret and you'll have some idea of the dissonant weirdness of this character. The Gertrude Stein Choir makes two appearances during the evening, first in a breathless, impeccably timed round of stream-of-consciousness and later in the tour de force act before closing, a Punch and Judy show about a performance art phenomenon known as the art Baby. and Jayne Mansfield, of all people, turns up in Performance Hell as well, only she's living in a man's body.
