Nashville Hurricane
Chase Padgett Productions—PTE – Mainstage
This is it! The play that lets you slide into entertainment ecstasy. The show that pulls you in, rocks you from head to toe, pulls on your heartstrings and yanks your funny bone while challenging your sense of morality. The show that makes you go ‘Yes! This is why I miss meals, stand in endless lineups, forgo sleep and pound the pavement.’. This is what the Fringe is about!
The audience was there to see more of the huge talent that brought us the sellout ‘6 Guitars’ last year. There was lots of lively debate afterwards as to which was better. It doesn’t matter; Padgett has his fan’s loyalty captured. Chase is an example of an actor who has mastered his craft to perfection. Each intriguing character is developed clearly and completely. You cheer for the underdogs and hope the villain gets his due. It’s a roller coaster ride of triumph and setbacks accompanied by some of the best guitar plucking and strumming you will ever see. The standing ovation was the loudest and longest I have heard this year. You do yourself a disservice if you miss this shining gem!
