Good Things Come In Threes—Even Angst-Filled District 13 presents a Hunger Games Musical Mockingjay: The Musicalby Mark Vandenberg November 23-25, 2017 * * * |
In Mockingjay: The Musical, the hilarious pop culture parody sequel to Fringe smash hits Hunger Games: The Musical and Catching Fire: The Musical, Katniss Everdeen takes on the Captiol with her brainwashed beau Peeta and belts out songs in the style of Taylor Swift and Rihanna (and more). |
★★★★ “The puns, barbs and self-referential jokes come so quickly, you might want to see it a second time.” —Shawn Conner, the Vancouver Sun |
Mockingjay: The Musical is the final pop culture parody sequel of Suzanne Collins action-packed novel and feature films. Along with skewering the plot, characters, and themes from the original story, Mockingjay: The Musical is packed with upbeat mainstream pop songs with creative new lyrics. Hunger Games: The Musical was a huge success at the 2015 Vancouver Fringe Festival with consistently sold-out shows making it one of the hottest tickets in town. Last year’s Catching Fire: The Musical also packed out the house. District 13 Presents have assembled almost everyone from the original cast for this final go around. |
“Catching Fire: The Musical is a hilarious, high-energy show featuring song, dance, joy, laughter, death, despair, CPR, sharks, slings, arrows and outrageous fortune. There is really no excuse not to see this show.” —Tom Radcliffe, Vancouver Actor |
