"Point Break Live!" - too much fun in Hollywood

Last night we traveled down to LA to watch the spoof play, Point Break Live! - this sendup of the 1991 Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze film was the perfect way to celebrate our friend Chad Nell's birthday. He and 27 of his friends joined him at this extremely fun and boisterous play.

Full details of the play (you should go if you are in LA) are here.

From TheaterMania: The Off-Broadway spoof Point Break LIVE! has stormed into Los Angeles, attacking its audiences with hilarious commentary on the ridiculous 1991 action-thriller Point Break, which starred Keanu Reeves as an ex-football-playing FBI agent and Patrick Swayze as a surfing thief. The theater experience recreates the entire film, complete with surfing episodes, violent robberies, and atrocious dialogue.

There didn't seem to be any issue with taking pictures or video, so I thought you might like to see two sequences - the sky-diving sequence, when Johnny Utah (Reeves) has to jump out of the plane and the closing sequence when Utah finally catches Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) in Australia before surfing the 'big one'. The part of Keanu is played by an audience member who gets selected at the start of the show. The guy that got picked actually was perfect for the part.
