Clay

This weekend Ryan and I went to see Clay at the Rep. This was one of the most original and creative musicals/plays I have seen in a long time. It is the story of an inner city white kid who after being forgotten/ignored by his parents and seduced by an older woman, turns to hip hop and rap to tell his story.

It is a one many play and Matt Sax wrote the play, the music and performs it all. He does a fabulous job of playing the 5 or 6 characters in the story and uses a series of subtle techniques to bring each character out.

Yesterday was the last performance in KC as the take the show to New York, where it will open in a couple of weeks. If you know anyone in New York tell them get some tickets. This is a must see!
