In the “chicken nugget” cast, the dynamic young performer Eloise Field did the honors, keeping the audience engaged and on the edge of our seats as she set up each bout, rocked out playing air guitar and bantered with the warriors.
Our narrator for this series of smackdowns, The Announcer, is patterned after TV personalities from the 1970s, complete with plaid three-piece suit, tinted brown shades and a long skinny microphone. With an entertaining script by former First Stage Academy director John Maclay and consistently impressive music by award-winning Portland, Oregon-area composer Eric Nordin, the co-commissioned work for families and children hits all the right notes as the three main characters work their way to a final, fantastic showdown. Adapted from the children’s book of the same name by Drew Daywalt, the simple story about a popular finger game has been transformed into a ’70s-era musical that’s part dance-off and part professional wrestling tournament, where each character longs for a match-up that truly tests their abilities.ĭirector Kelly Doherty, seen onstage recently in “Matilda” and “Elf,” translates her flair for comedy as a performer into clever, energetic direction that keeps the fun in “The Legend of Rock, Paper Scissors” front and center. Are you ready to rock? If so, then come down to the Marcus Center for First Stage’s world premiere musical, “The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors,” and cheer for your favorite competitor in a series of epic battles for backyard domination.
