Perez Hilton Saves the Universe

DC Arts Center
2438 18th Street NW Washington

“Perez Hilton” follows a day in the life of the “thirty-something pink-haired chubby gay Cubano gossip blogger.” Brittany Spears has tragically passed away, and the stars are all coming our for her Red Carpet Wake. Perez finds himself at the center of an Al Queda terrorist plot to crash the wake and blow up all of the L.A.. Not to mention he’s the target of an angry hit-mob of celebrities, Scientologist Jedi Tom Cruise, and the diabolically attention-hungry Kathy Griffin. How will Perez ever save the Universe and find a hot date to Britney’s wake in time?

"...the major problem with Perez is that it takes even its most charming moments to excess. "Perez's Lament," one of Baughman's ballads, starts off rather hilariously, as Hilton wrings his hands over the ridiculous fact he may have to "shoot my lover in the face" (believe it or not, you can actually get a lot of mileage out of that phrase when repeatedly sung). But the song devolves ultimately into ho-hum penis imagery, and is revamped later, unnecessarily, as a reprise. Funny at first, but ultimately beaten to death: that's how much of the humor goes in Perez."

"...what might be the makings of a good sketch or two is simply not enough to deliver as a full-on musical. Particularly not one that chooses to reprise not one but two of its songs (and of those boasting all the subtle humor of frat house kegger) or decides to earn laughs by naming one of its terrorist characters Kebab."

Landless Theatre Company's production is one part biography and ten parts absurdist devotional fable-making, hit with a liberal dollop of NC-17 sex gags. Et voila. Goofy, rude, musical bliss...
