“Opening Night: The Improvised Musical,” is an
incomparable piece of insanity. Using only title
and setting supplied by audience suggestion, the
five member troupe, (Bill Chott, Shulie Cowen,
Dave Cox, Derek Miller and Norm Thoeming),
literally improvise an entire, miniature two-act
musical, completely from scratch and for that
evening only: Opening Night is closing night as
well. The reviewed performance screamingly
touched on everything from caffeine addiction to
woman’s equality in the workplace to Japanese
sumo wrestling. Special mention must be made of
Bill Larkin, the ingenious accompanist, who keeps
up with every curveball hurled by the inspired
players. IN LA Magazine January 17, 2000
