"Point Break LIVE! turns out to be one wild ride. It's impossible not
to get swept up in it's glorious chaos." - SF WEEKLY
"'Point Break LIVE!' shamelessly rides the gnarly breakers of travesty
until viewers wipe out on the shoals of helpless laughter." LA TIMES
"In a nutshell: About the most dead-on dose of hilarity to ever be on
stage." LA.COM
"Can only be described as all-encompassing, wet, interactive, loud,
extreme, and altogether awesome." LA2DAY.COM
"The fact that the movie is a surf saga and doesn't necessarily lend
itself to an adaptation for the stage is what makes the show all the
more ridiculous and a must-see." SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"What the play lacked in big Hollywood budget, it more than made up
for in good, old fashioned slapstick comedy and deliciously awkward
moments." Santa Cruz Sentinel
What is Point Break LIVE!?
Point Break LIVE! is the absurdist stage adaptation of the 1992 Keanu
Reeves/Patrick Swayze extreme-sports blockbuster that tells the story
of former College football star, Johnny Utah ,in pursuit of the
surfing, bankrobbing, skydiving, bare-hand-fighting adrenaline-junkie-
cum-Zen-master Bodhi Sattva.
What makes Point Break LIVE! so exciting?
Point Break LIVE! features armed robbery, big-wave surfing, car
chases, explosions, and no less than two extended skydiving
sequences. This "action" play offers a true cathartic experience,
putting you in the water with the surfers, throwing you out the door
of an airplane and robbing you at gunpoint. Add in the hotness factor-
surfer dudes and female stunt doubles and you have a night of live
theater that rivals anything by Samuel Beckett in terms of pure
excitement and energy.
What makes Point Break LIVE! cooler, funnier, and crazier than any
other show?
The starring role of Johnny Utah is selected from the audience each
night, and reads their entire script off of cue-cards . This method
manages to capture the rawness of a Keanu Reeves performance even from
those who generally think themselves incapable of acting. The fun
starts immediately with the "screen test" wherein the volunteer Keanus
(usually 4-10 men and women vie for the role) go through a grueling
audition process. The part is then cast via applaus-o-meter. The show
is different every time which is why so many people come back three,
four and even five times to see it.
What's in the Survival Kits?
Point Break LIVE! is interactive to the extreme. There is an indoor
monsoon scene and lot's of water and fake blood flying around so the
audience members are advised to purchase a Survival Kit for $1 which
includes a protective poncho. It also includes fake money as it is
likely that audience members will be robbed at gunpoint by some mask-
wearing actors.
Warning: besides monsoons and fake blood, there is gunfire and
violence. This show is not for the squeamish or faint of heart. And it
is messy.... so please leave the designer outfits at home! Seriously!
