Great reviews for Pericles just keep rolling in!

We're three for three so far on great reviews for Pericles. Check out what they are saying and follow the links to the full stories:

"Be ready to get blown away ... It’s fun, quirky, and energetic ... a rare commodity, an original rock musical, put together by the raw energy and talent of a group of committed artists ... They went out on a limb to produce this edgy, possibly controversial show. It works, and there’s nothing canned or fake about it. Turn off the television and go see Pericles." - Tampa Bay Arts Net

“... a raucous force of nature ... a butt-kicking, rocked-out adaptation ... It's clear that Jobsite has worked to create a non-musical musical ... The acting is good ... [the script] is delightfully smartass and rude. But the music is what makes this production really sing.” – The Tampa Tribune

“... if you love the Bard, good rock music, The Sopranos or just edgy theater, Pericles is a must-see. It’s an eloquent reminder of how indispensable Jobsite has become in ten years, and how consistently daring.” – Creative Loafing

Don't wanna take a critic's word for it? How about the words of these patrons who've been lovin' all over this show?

“Just got in from seeing the great musical Pericles. It is one of the best plays that I have seen in a while. The music was great, lyrics were significant to the story line and the performance done by each cast member was OUTSTANDING. Each actor played and sang their part so very well. I was caught up in the plot, which is for mature audiences only. The players easily drew me into their character and I felt as though I were part of the performance. I will be attending this musical again with friends and family.... Treat yourself to a night out of a modern musical with a great cast of actors, singers and comedians. It is time to make a memory. Enjoy.” – Jeanette French

“Was in the audience tonight for the sneak preview, and the musical was FANTASTIC! My boyfriend and I just really enjoyed ourselves. Tampa area people... go see this musical. It's totally worth it.” – mmobrien (via LiveJournal)

“GREAT SHOW!! Definitely something to come and spend your money on. Support the local artistic community and keep great projects like this coming back again and again!!!!” – theatergoer from Largo (via tampabay.com)

“I was frankly very unsure about this Pericles thing. Shakespeare, mobsters, punk-rock. Sounds like something that you might see in a Simpsons episode about community theater. And who is this Joe Popp guy anyway? Add to that the hype, the glowing reports of the people who saw it in rehearsal and the preview night and I was very worried it wouldn't live up to the expectations. It didn't. It surpassed them. I know who Joe Popp is now, he's a wizard. The music was amazing, powerful, energetic and still melodic over a broad variety of styles ... The cast were uniformly strong, passionate and energetic ... The book was a very clever transmogrification of the original as well as incredibly funny ... I'll be seeing it again, everyone should go see it.” – David Hood (via Blogsite Theater)

“That's really lovely work you're doing in the Shimberg. I was terrifically impressed with the focus and the timing and the writing and the singing and the characterizations. You deserve a bigger venue. Joe deserves a house band to back him up. Thanks for loving what you're doing. It shows.” – Steve Garland

“One of the best shows I've seen at the Jobsite!!!! I saw the show Friday and also was suprised at the 'silence' from the audience at the start. Finally, the crowd gave in "thankfully" and made noise so my laughter wasn't alone and my clapping was joined by others. Great Job by the everyone involved!” – Sam Combs (via Facebook)

“Actors were excellent! Songs and lyrics were great! Set was amazing (loved how well you utilized space)! It was a little loud for me so some of the lyrics were hard to understand, but no different from any other rock show. Definitely worth seeing!!!” - Lorie Kittendorf (via Facebook)

Still not so sure? Well, then the only way to find out is to make a decision for yourself - grab a ticket and you'll have an opinion of your own!

This is a sensational show, something over two years in the making representing the work of a dozen and a half artists spanning the whole east coast, from Tampa to NYC.

A show like this doesn't come along that often. We're in preliminary talks about trying to move a version of the show to NY for a limited run. See it now and be able to brag how you saw it first when it when's all those Tony Awards. ;)

Hope to see you out this weekend. You won't regret it.
