Everyone's raving about Lust 'n Rust
"We live in trailers, that's true - but we're people and nobody's trash."
Producers and directors: "I have never produced a show that EVERY audience member loved, and I can truly say that is the case with Lust 'n Rust. Our attendance grew with every show and it is probably among the best productions we have done as a company. I am glad we decided to do it." "The play has a social conscience, but it's very definitely a comedy. We were reviewing various shows that were available and we found this. It was something different and that's what we wanted to do." "Lust 'n Rust is a great show that is easy to produce, and direct. It's fun and the cast had a blast putting it on. The audience reaction to THIS show is better than any other we have ever done." "In my history of working at the Theatre Building, I can not remember a show with a better opening week. An average opening week is about 1/5 of what you took in."
Audience members: "What a FANTASTIC SHOW Lust 'n Rust is! Very clever, funny, entertaining." "Saw the show tonight - brought my Mom. We both thought it was great! Way better than Rent or Fiddler on the Roof"
"It's funny, the music is awesome - I want the soundtrack - and I can't remember the last time I smiled so much and liked a cast of characters so much. Two enthusiastic thumbs up. I'd see it again in a heartbeat!" "I attend at least 50 plays a year. I truly enjoyed the fun of Lust 'n Rust. I came out of the play singing the tunes... as did the rest of the audience! Lust 'n Rust is light-hearted, fun and just a great time. I highly recommend it." "I found myself singing the songs for days after the show. It's not often I find a show that I loved, my 83 year old mother loved and my 10 year old son is still talking about." "Lust 'n Rust is a gem of a play. Some things just naturally go together, like fries with catsup, and like the story line in Lust 'n Rust with country music. You'd have to be a determined cynic not to care about the characters as they work through their problems, amid toe-tapping songs."
The critics:
"Written with a lighthearted, affectionate touch, Lust 'n Rust seeks the humanity in a trailer park." "This country-western musical comedy delves beneath the surface of redneck stereotypes to find a hootin', hollerin' good time." "It's the best show I've seen in Calvert this year! This show is so fresh and original it deserves a wider venue." "POSDJAALOFG: Plenty Of Singing, Dancing, Jokin' Around And Lots Of Fun. Go." "Lust 'n Rust is refreshing. The script is tight and well written and the songs veer between laugh-out-loud funny and downright romantic." "...the well-written songs in Lust 'n Rust, which pay tribute to blue-collar life, remain the musical's selling point. Haney, Kimball and Stratton have a deft hand around a ballad as well as the upbeat numbers." "...the tunes in this show are right nice. [They] have a real knack for entertaining country-western songs that aid in character development and advance the plot." "...feisty and stirring country music... These hit songs don't even need dialogue to support them." For full reviews and articles, please visit our media room.
