What is... wondrous, the chief repression that we see-and hear-is Stalinist hatred of jazz and American hip clothes.
Imagine Baz Luhrmann on borscht.
'Hipsters" practically vibrates with zeal and joy.
It's taken the Russian musical "Hipsters" four years to reach America. That's all right. It may take audiences four years to recover.
A candy-colored confection with a dark, bittersweet center.
Are you ready for a bright and breezy musical comedy from Russia?
Audience Reviews for Hipsters
Hairspray in the USSR; i.e., fun and bright, but with stakes. Visual candy, catchy tunes, Lovers in a Dangerous Time plot, and only a touch heavy-handed in its political statement. Wobbles toward the end, but how many musicals don't? Eye-opening work... I kind of loved it.
