| Christopher Ashley's direction soars as the La Jolla Playhouse presents the world premiere of Joe Iconis and Gregory S. Moss's tribute to Gonzo journalism. Gabriel Ebert makes for a tall, bland, Hunter, but George Abud shines as Richard Nixon, Hunter's nemesis. The rest of the cast adds sparkle, and Wilson Chin's scenic design is alone worth the price of admission. Extended, but closes soon to make way for a play about Sumo wrestlers and "Babbit", starring Matthew Broderick. Bill, in San Diego |

| Is it me, or is your lack of anything complimentary about the book or score taken to mean something? | |

| I never intended to write a full review. That said, the score is probably the weakest link. The design and direction are the strongest elements. | |

| If they sold tickets for under $90-150 for non-students, I'd check it out. Regional theaters, unlike broadway and most off-broadway, are prohibitively expensive for me as a theatergoer. If anyone knows tricks I don't know, especially for La Jolla and Old Globe, and similar regionals, I'd love to hear em. Maybe I'm missing something but at La Jolla the only cheap tickets seem to go to students (students under my age too) or vets. |
