is broadway ready for kiki & herb?
Kiki and Herb Finally Grow Up—But Is Broadway Ready For It? The always awesome Choire on my beloved Kiki & Herb, in yesterday’s Observer. As the Seattle Weekly said last year, “you haven’t lived till you’ve heard a sozzled drag queen crooning, “Wu-Tang, motherfucker”—or turning the Mountain Goats’ harrowing “No Children” (“I hope I lie/And tell everyone you were a good wife/ And I hope you die/I hope we both die”) into an almost sweet-tempered duet with her long-suffering sidekick.” (Hint: the double cd of their sold-out Carnegie Hall show is amazing.)
