Hollywood Playhouse freebie offer
The tickets are free but you've got to be quick, and use the phone - not the web. The Hollywood Playhouse is offering up to 200 free tickets (100 pairs) for tomorrow's (Wednesday, May 21) matinee performance of "Makeover" starting at 2 p.m. Call the box ofice at 954-922-0404. The show written by Mark Poncy is in the midst of its world premiere engagement, is described as "a classic story of the struggle between good and evil, cloaked in a contemporary theme of plastic surgery gone awry." Sun-Sentinel contributor Mary Damiano's review indicated the story is slight and cliched, but added that Poncy's strongest suit is composing lilting songs reminiscent of 1940s standards - such as "Now and Then" and "Old Fashion Love" - that move the story along but can also stand alone."
