I've seen Phantom of the Opera at least a dozen times on stage in [names of large metropolitan areas]. Will I hear those familiar tunes I've grown to love so dearly? A.

There will be many songs in the show that are brand-new and made in Duluth. Q. Is this a love story? A. Yes. The love between a Phantom and a woman, a man and a woman, a diva and a light bulb, a guy and a building, and many, many other forms of love, all rated PG or lower. Q. Is this a comedy? A. Funny poster, funny website, and our name is "Colder by the Lake COMEDY Theatre." Here comes the clue train ... all aboard! Q.

You will be delighted by our inclusion of a plot. Q. I've never seen or heard of Phantom of the Opera, and so I'm worried that the plot of Phantom of the NorShor will be too complex for me to follow, or that it will have "inside" jokes. A. Don't worry, people who have seen Phantom of the Opera don't know what it's about either. Also, keep in mind that you can take your drinks into the theater. Q. Will there be smoking at the NorShor? A. No indeed. The Phantom does not approve of smoking. Q. Is there anything else of which the Phantom does not approve? A. Yes, many things anger and disappoint him. You, as an audience member, will have a chance to write a song about those things in our unique AUDIENCE-PARTICIPATION LIBRETTO. Q. Is this show in the downstairs theater? A. No, it's in the upstairs theater--the "little" one. The house is small (235 capacity) and all the seats are good. Q. Are there scary parts? A. Only if you consider the term "501(c)3" scary. Q. Can I bring my kids? A. Yep. Little-little kids probably won't understand some of the plot, but there's no bad language, gratuitous violence or "adult situations." Q. What about people from out of town? Will they "get" the jokes? A. They will "get" approximately 91% of the jokes. Every town in America has its NorShor Theater. Q. Really, though. What about people from the Twin Cities? Will they "get" the jokes? A. Who cares? Q. Will I be in danger of having a chandelier dropped on my head, or the heads of my loved ones? A.

Dates and times have not been determined. When they are determined, we will send out a mailing, an e-announcement, and post details on our website. Until then, do not attempt to make reservations for a show that doesn't exist. If you make such an attempt, we will laugh at you and then you'll have to wait in line for tickets again. Q. Should I call the NorShor Theater for tickets? A. NO, NO, NO. They have neither tickets nor the power to reserve tickets for you. In fact, if you call them and they say, "Oh yeah, sure you can reserve tickets," and they ask for your credit card information, hang up immediately. |
