Reviews for MACHOS are rolling in and tickets are selling out!!!! I'm so excited!

Here's what critics have to say (and remember, tickets are available for advance sale at www.teatroluna.org):

"Teatro Luna is pop theater: smart and enormously fun... I am continually impressed with the range and quality of talent in this ensemble, and their manly mannerisms are dead on..."
-Chicago Tribune

"Hugely entertaining and very often hilarious...eerily convincing as members of the opposite sex...aesthetically satisfying living theater...with heart and compassion (no gratuitous man bashing here) to spare... highly recommended, and especially for those who may think themselves too 'macho' for art."
-New City

"...gender bending heights...hilarious... skilled and affecting performances... Having Latina women so convincingly portraying Latino men in Machos helps break down stereotypes on "male behavior" and helps you to reexamine exactly why society places those pressures on men."
-Windy City Times (read the full review at http://www.windycitymediagroup.com/gay/lesbian/news/ARTICLE.php?AID=16622)

"a richly nuanced show... open-hearted... hilarious... so persuasive you feel you're watching a real person deliver his own story... the performers' physical embodiment of their characters is what makes them truly convincing. They inhabit them so fully that they get a curious gestalt going: in your mind they go from men to women and back again over and over, in split-second moments of perception. This act of imagination, on their part and ours, can only be healing."
-The Chicago Reader (read the full review at www.chireader.com)

"Machos is thoroughly enjoyable, and made recommendable by the ensemble's uncanny acting and Paz's strong shaping..."
TimeOut Chicago

Hola Amores!!!!!!

MACHOS is finally up and running. I'm so excited about the show - the "guys" look great and I still can't stop humming our original hit song, "Girl, I'm In To You."

My favourite part of this experience has been hearing from men after the show - I was very worried about whether men would be able to relate to the performance, and I think the answer so far is a very clear YES! Which proves - you don't have to make fun of men to make a funny show about men!

My least favourite part of the show? Now that its up, I've got no life!!!!!! Just a big empty space where rehearsals used to be. Better get on the next project F-A-S-T! Or, you know, sleep.
