Slow Burn Theatre Does High Fidelity
Slow Burn Theatre Company will perform the musical High Fidelity starting June 13th.
Bobby Johnston takes on the lead role as Rob, a record shop owner who faces challenges in his love life and his world view.
Consistent with Slow Burn’s tendency to challenge audiences, the musical performance will likely stay closer to the book than the film. That means it will feature original music from the Broadway show in the style of classic rock, but not classic rock hits. The lyrics received a lot of positive reviews.
We’ve been to several Slow Burn shows. Their audience is growing and we recommend buying your tickets early. We have a hunch this will be their most popular show yet.
Slow Burn performances are at the West Boca High School auditorium, Fridays & Saturdays at 8PM, Sundays at 2PM. The show runs from June 13th to the 29th.
