POINT BREAK LIVE–Great Play or Greatest Play Ever?
From the department of “Holy F’ing Crap I Can’t Believe Someone is Actually Doing This?!?”, tonight Point Break LIVE is premiering at Galapagos for the beginning of its one month run. It’s so ridiculous I can’t even fathom it. Here’s the info:
Point Break LIVE!, the absurdist stage adaptation of the 1992 Keanu Reeves extreme-sports blockbuster, surfs into Galapagos for an exclusive one-month engagement.
The show, which garnered a “Seattle P-I Best of Seattle 2004” award, as well as rave reviews across the nation, tells the story of former College football star Johnny Utah—Keanu Reeves in the film—in pursuit of the bankrobbing, skydiving, bare-hand-fighting adrenaline-junkie-cum-Zenmaster Bodhi Sattva (Patrick Swayze—here played by Gearick Matthies), and features armed robbery, big-wave surfing, car chases, explosions, and no less than two extended skydiving sequences.
Best of all, the starring role of Keanu will be selected at random from the audience each night, and will read their entire script off of cue-cards!
I’m speechless. I really just need to echo Free Williamsburg when they say “This is either the best idea ever, or the worst. Maybe both”

I’m so there.
I am so there with you. Field trip! Anyone else interested?
Dana, I will go anytime you want! (unless it’s between now and Monday, because I’m upstate at my parents’ house.) This sounds like it would, at the very least, be a memorable experience.
I’m interested! Just let me know when…
Genius! But really when it comes to this gem of a film, who needs cue cards?
Pappis- “Robbing banks to finance the endless summer!”
Pappis & Utah - “Whoooooaaaaa!”
well Michael, that settles it. You and your wife need to get your asses up to the burg in the next few weeks and come see this with us. You would make a great Utah!
