“I wanna be a man like Donal Skehan”
The Power of Wow explores fame, failure, heteronormativity and abusive relationships against a backdrop of Nancy Sinatra, dirty dancing, a very dramatic cake and lots (and lots) of bananas.
Reviews
“This production is an engaging and challenging progression of the characters of Xnthony and Tiffany (who previously appeared in Douze) that involves the audience in both light-hearted and provocative, searching ways. The Power of Wow is a brave (and at times bizarre) work of art that is not afraid to push boundaries and does so with confidence, conviction, and bananas.”
— Sitting on the Fourth Wall
“During such stunts, the electric Tiffany Murphy will up the ante, even grinding melisma into his thoughtfully prepared rap. It’s clearer than before that Xnthony is a scathing ridiculer, showing the ugly side of celebrity culture. Through grotesque routines, Tiffany is pushed to the brink before finally railing against what she was promised. This cabaret act has some teeth.”
