Kid Victory at Signature

Dear Imaginary Friends.
Kid Victory, now playing at Signature Theater, is an odd combination of disparate elements. 
First, it is a musical. But it is a musical about a pedophile who kidnaps, rapes and beats an underage teenage boy. 
Yes, it is a musical. 
It tackles the themes of faith, homosexuality, anonymous sexual dating sites, Vikings, lawns ( yes, I said lawns), and families dealing with teenage angst. 
I personally felt very uncomfortable watching the pedophile kidnapper singing about his "love" for his victim. 

One has a hard time not squirming with mortification. Yet, there are some positives. The actors all deliver stellar performances, especially the main character, who totally nails teenage boy angst. His face is a map of his thoughts. 

Signature Theater in Arlington loves to explore the occasional edgy theme, but perhaps there is a limit of good taste, that would be welcome. 

Please, no more musicals about sexual predators. 

Your imaginary theater critic,
Patsie

  1. Many people like to keep a consistent visual style across all their devices. Artistic HD wallpapers make this easy by allowing the same creative theme or color palette to flow smoothly from smartphones and tablets to laptops and desktops. When screens share a unified look, the digital environment feels more polished, intentional, and visually satisfying.
    High-definition designs also adapt well to different screen sizes and resolutions. This means a single artistic wallpaper can look just as sharp and impressive on a small phone screen as it does on a large monitor, maintaining quality and visual impact across every device.https://colornjoy.com/blogs/hello-kitty-wallpapers/hello-kitty-wallpaper-desktop-computer-download-2se0y50i6
