Lifeline Theatre's Neverwhere Blew My Mind With Awesomeness!

Go see it.  T'was awesome.  Like sweet sweet summer action movie *with content* awesome.  Fans of the book will not be disappointed. (I practically squealed when I saw the trolls on Richard's desk.)  The entire production is jaw-dropping gorgeous and inventive in a way that makes me sort of angry at how successful they are...and by angry, I mean really REALLY jealous and amazed at the company's amazing talent and supremely sad that I was not involved. It reminded me of why I do theatre and see theatre: because the magical combination of actors, clever design, and wicked fantastic effects deliver such a body thrill and exciting human connection in a way that goofy 3-D glasses and computer animation never will. I want to stalk this production like a 13 year old Bieber-fan.  I want to hand-embroider pillows with "I heart Neverwhere" on them and bake the cast little cakes in the shape of rats. I am expecting this thing to sell like hot cakes.  Get your tickets ASAP. Horror fans will have a lot of fun at this one as well.  There's some very groovy monster effects, some puppet work, excellent fights, and a rat eaten for a tasty snack. The cast features Wildclaw Dreams in the Witchhouse alum & Deathscribe 2009 Winner Chris Hainsworth as well as sound design by The Revenants and Legion's Misha Fiksel. 

Okay..I have gushed enough for now.  Expect more gushing later.
