Chuck DiMaria portrays famous daredevil in Jef Bek's rock opera.
Nonstop adrenaline powers Jef Bek's masterfully hard-driving '70s-style rock opera, which finds in the famous daredevil's life — beneath its star-spangled kitsch — an iconic rebel and something unconquerable in the American spirit.

kelly Los Angeles, "Hopefully, in the bigger future productions this gem richly deserves,,," ditto what the Times review said. Put this on a larger budget, an expansive stage (with the same basic scenic design - the band under the ramp is ingenious for this small stage, but on a large stage, w/a larger band - this rock and roll epic will blaze and sizzle beyond Jef Bek's dreams!) "it won't lose its elemental, rockin' heart." Don't think that can happen. Onward Evel Soldiers - to Caesar's Palace! Hang on to your reporter, Amani. Her voice and style are exceptional!

Elsa Thousand Oaks, CAI cannot believe how well these people did on such a low budget - but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It is much fun and that live band plays the entire time. Marty made me laugh out loud when he sang to that Evel doll. I think I'll go see it again! October 3, 2007
