This black (leather jacket) comedy is based on that one time when the Ramones recorded an album with "Wall of Sound" producer Phil Spector, who never hesitated to pull a gun on anyone and in the case of the New York City punk band, hold them hostage for six hours. With what we now know about Spector, who died in prison, this production should provide a master class in comedic tension.

Vegas Fringe Festival over at LVLT is in its 14th edition, and it prides itself on featuring both new and established works that never cross the 60-minute mark.
Conducted by Alexandra Arrieche, the music featured in the Indiana Jones and Harry Potter films, Schindler’s List, E.T., and Star Wars will be performed — as well as Korngold’s Violin Concerto in D Major, featuring Violinist DeAnn Letourneau.
Gilbert and Sullivan’s rollicking operetta is a tale of love, honor, and duty which pokes fun at overblown patriotism, party politics, forbidden love, social class structure, the Royal Navy, and the personal ambition of unqualified people who rise to positions of power. (Yes, all that!)
The comic opera is Gilbert & Sullivan’s fourth composition as a duo, premiering May 25, 1878. The opera was a smash success and ran for 571 performances, the second-longest run for any opera when it closed.
This production features professional soloists, members of the Las Vegas Master Singers, the Opera Las Vegas Youth Chorus, and members of the Las Vegas Philharmonic.
Also on June 8 at 2:00.
