Catastrophic Theatre's magnificent world-premiere production of Bluefinger: The Fall and Rise of Herman Brood, written and directed by Jason Nodler, and featuring a blistering performance by Matt Kelly in the title role, could easily be the next smash hit on Broadway. Bluefinger is a once-in-a-lifetime, invigorating magical mystery tour of rock's most quintessential wild man. Catastrophic Theatre has outdone itself.

Sex, drugs, and rock ’n roll Dutch-style pretty much sums up the monumentally epic life and times of Herman Brood and Bluefinger, boldly and masterfully brought to the stage by visionary Jason Nodler, artistic director of The Catastrophic Theatre.

Bluefinger is so good that it could and should run for years, whether here or Off-Broadway or both.  It is better than American Idiot, which I reviewed on opening night, and could make a huge splash in a smaller New York venue.
