Still More Theater Saturday - Lost in Del Valle

We received complimentary tickets to Lost in Del Valle for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

What: Lost in Del Valle

Where: SoHo Playhouse

             15 Vandam St.

              New York, NY

Who: Recommended for Ages 18 and Up

Ned Van Zandt was a successful actor who got wrapped up in drugs and ended up doing a stint in Del Valle Prison. He tells his own story in his one-man show Lost in Del Valle. Van Zandt takes on numerous other roles in addition to himself, mostly merely by changing his voice. He does a decent job of it, although it sometimes gets confusing because he is often playing two or more characters in conversation with each other, so he has to slip from one to another extremely rapidly. Thus, it can be hard to follow at times.

The show is full of references to drugs, drug usage, and sex. Both drug usage and sex are also simulated within the show. The majority of the show is about drugs, in particular.  Accordingly, if these things trigger you or make you uncomfortable, you'll want to skip this show. However, if you don't mind that and enjoy a show with a lot of name-dropping, you may enjoy this one with its numerous mentions of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, among others.

And that's our view. For more about Lost in Del Valle or to purchase tickets, visit www.sohoplayhouse.com/see-a-show/lost-in-del-valle
