Mulroney: The Opera
Genre: Musical comedy
Director: Larry Weinstein
Stars: Rick Miller, Dan Redican, Stephanie Anne Mills
***1/2
This is no gentle satire on our former PM Brian Mulroney. It actually says the words, names the names and gleefully re-opens wounds of a scandal blackened political career that was neither kind nor gentle. This IS opera, performed by actors lip-synching to opera stars; expect ear shredding highs, rumbling lows and shock-induced laughs. It’s zany, colourful, and takes no prisoners.
