The View From Space

While in San Diego my wife and I had the pleasure of attending a local production called miXtape.  It’s playing at the Horton Grand Theater through December 19. 

The cast and crew take you on a nostalgic journey through the 80′s via the entertainment tool known back then by teens as the mixtape.  It was basically a cassette tape with a mix of one’s most important songs merged into a nonstop entertainment train. 

The women in the cast were incredible singers but the guys were the ones who stole the show.  While their voices weren’t as smooth as the women their antics and facial expressions really got the crowd hooting and howling.  From Duran Duran to CHiPs they had the crowd dancing and singing along (also having one of the male leads come running onto the stage in his whitey tighty’s ala Tom Cruise in Risky Business surely helped their cause). 

So if you happen to be in San Diego before December 19 I wholeheartedly recommend saving a night to watch miXtape.  The Horton Grand Theater is located just a block away from the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego, so you can make it a night out on the town with dinner, a show and dancing (oh and dont forget dessert at the Ghirardelli ice cream shop).
