CIFF Synopsis:
Every small town has that one son who made it big, and for Orrville, Ohio that son is Eugene Olivier. From grade school pageants, to high school plays, all the way to the stages of New York City, Eugene has made a name for himself in the world of theater. Literally, just for himself. In the vein of “Waiting for Guffman,” OJ: THE MUSICAL follows Eugene as he recruits his hometown friends and sets up funding for his musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello. Whether he’s courting his high school sweetheart, showing up nude to rehearsals, or showering in his driveway, Eugene (expertly played by Jordan Kenneth Kamp) displays the one quality that everyone notices first: he’s insane. What any one person would refer to as madness is about to be another man’s musical about O.J. Simpson and the Trial of the Century. With a hilarious ensemble and pitch-perfect directing, OJ: THE MUSICAL is one comedy that’ll fit you like a glove. A bloody, bloody glove. —T.W.
