From start to finish I don't think the smile left my face. It surprised me, because I had my doubts. Before the curtain was drawn on Mainline Theatre's The Mid-Life Crisis of Dionysus, I have to admit, a musical about the god of the debauched didn't inspire me. Although it did sound sexy... I just figured the evening would be lacking in substance and vigor. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong.
Everything from the music to the cast to the original songs inspired bachanalian pleasure. The production was as heady as wine and as deliciously indulgent. The Mid-Life Crisis of Dionysus has legs (very beautiful legs) and real staying power.
