Saint Hollywood is a remarkable multi-media show: a creation of visual projections, multi-multi images and a physically active story-teller, guitarist, actor/singer with multi accents, Willard Morgan, who created the show with Jerrold Ziman. Morgan is backed by three gorgeous women, two who dance and sing, Shannon Antalan and Zoe Rosario, and one, Eunice Wong, as a DJ.
Morgan's performance is a combination of hip Lenny Bruce tone, part rapper, and part straight-ahead joke monologue at times. This is a top-level performance-art work- a clearly-conceived piece with unending imagination and surprises as he plays character after Hollywood character. It's non-stop entertainment by a multi-talented, quite amazing performer with star persona-- a complex show with myriad Hollywood scenes projected on panels and drapery (detailed scenic design by Anna Kiraly, imaginative costumes by Uta Bekaia, video design by Alex Koch and Lucia Jessum Lee), terrific lighting by David Tirosh, directed with perfect timing by Jenny Lee Mitchell. Morgan even juggles and plays the harmonica at the same time. What a trip!
