2013 Regina International Fringe Theatre Festival
A mini-review of Colin Godbout's Canuck Quixote by Fringe social media liaison Sabrina Cataldo.
If you like Spanish guitar music, Canuck Quixote is a show you will
enjoy. Colin Godbout is a highly skilled guitarist who pays tribute to
iconic Canadian singer/songwriters by reprising their music with a
Spanish flair. His arrangement of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” is
beautiful (he just added this song to the show on Friday) and the rendition of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” is a nice surprise.
The music is lovely but the other elements of the show are confusing. The script presumes an audience understanding of obscure musical and literary references that are inaccessible to the layperson. I was there with two friends – among us, we have eight university degrees and certificates – and we could not follow what was going on.
If you like this kind of music, the show is worth seeing. Just don’t feel dumb if you don’t “get it.” Sit back and enjoy the tunes.
