Life sucks mostly because there’s been a world-wide epidemic of organ failure caused by industrial waste or some other disaster. The only way to know for sure, in keeping with its theme and mood, is to slice this sexy specimen open and tear its bloody guts out. It’s possible that it will either make the production seem wonderfully self-aware or disappointingly pretentious. While Repo! The Genetic Opera certainly takes its material seriously, there’s also a feeling that it knows how many mainstream audience members will receive it. In most musical productions, the idea is to either use the songs for comedic effect or to underscore the powerful emotions in play during a given scene. Here we have something of an odd specimen. This week’s IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! brought to you by a generous donation from Kimberly Franco.
