Joe vs The Volcano, The Musical
1142 Orange Avenue, Coronado, 92118
John Patrick Shanley's movie script has a Scrooge-like, shocked-into-living arc. Thanks to an incurable case of "Brain Cloud," Joe Banks has six months to live. So why not appease a hungry volcano and make the lava leap?
The fable requires so much suspended disbelief that the movie never made it big. But if Lamb's Players hones and shapes their world premiere effort, it might find life in the friendlier format of musical comedy. The production already has many charms, among them performances by Sean Cox (Joe) and Eileen Bowman (as three women), Jeanne Reith's costumes (from Armani to island-outfits decked in crushed Orange Crush cans), to the technical work, the volcano finale in particular.
Worth a try.
