Uncategorized REPO! returns for payment in full at the Plaza
Posted by Jonathan Williams on Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 4:36 PM
When it made its Atlanta debut at the Plaza Theatre last November, REPO! The Genetic Opera, a sci-fi musical set in a dystopian future, looked to make a Rocky Horror-like impression. After a sold-out road tour stop and a limited run at the Plaza, it looks like REPO! might just collect in full this Saturday.
Having already attained a cult following of fans who show up to screenings across the country in costume, the film, directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II-IV) and starring Anthony Stewart Head, Paul Sorvino, Paris Hilton, Bill Moseley, Sarah Brightman and Ogre from Skinny Puppy (in his acting debut), stops in Atlanta again for a one-night showing. Though this screening occurs at 10 p.m., REPO! gets the full midnight movie treatment this time around with a shadowcast performance as the movie plays.
So if the Plaza's Friday night showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show are leaving you wanting more, more, more macabre musicality, this darker (but equally campy) tale about a repo man who collects donated organs when the living owners are delinquent on their payments may just satisfy that dubious debt.
Sat., March 21, 10 p.m. $8. Plaza Theatre, 1049 Ponce de Leon Ave. 404-873-1939.www.plazaatlanta.com.
