By: BIG ARTS You don’t have to love opera to revel in the sheer hilarity and fun of Das Barbecü. This uproarious musical comedy spins Epic Wagnerian as a witty Texas fable using five actors playing more than 30 outrageous characters at breakneck speed. Songs run the gamut from Broadway to Texas Swing and Jazz to Country/Western. Conjure up your basic Texas hootenanny, complete with lassos, long neck beers, fringed leather and steel guitars. Now, marry that image with Wagner’s Ring Cycle, in all its operatic, melodramatic intensity, and you’ve got one splendidly giddy musical. Seattle Times theater critic Misha Berson writes, “Silly, glossy and full of mock-Texas shtick, the show recalls the camp-tastic 1970s TV soaper Dallas – but with loads of singin,’ dancin,’ quick-changin’ Das Barbecü is supported by Herb Strauss Theater Season Sponsor The Sanibel Captiva Trust Company http://www.sancaptrustco.com/ and Show Sponsor ’Tween Waters Inn http://tween- Das Barbecü is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
