Becoming Kinky

A A A Comments By D. L. Groover Thursday, Mar 31 2011

Finally, a show for Kinky Friedman fans. Becoming Kinky: The World According to Kinky Friedman was conceived by Ted Swindley, founding director of Stages Repertory Theatre, who created the monster hit Always, Patsy Kline and other jukebox compilation shows, like Bubba’s Revenge and Honky Tonk Angels. He may have outdone himself with Becoming Kinky. Blessed and sanctioned by Friedman, Swindley has taken various essays and comedy routines such as Strange Texas Laws and You Can Lead a Politician to Water But You Can’t Make Him Think and iconic songs such as “They Ain’t Making Jews like Jesus Anymore” and turned one of America’s most phantasmagoric minds into stagecraft. Three actors portray Friedman (because one, by himself, would probably lose his mind).
