EYE WEEKLY Review:

A real band adds an exciting element to the shadow-cast presentation of Blue Velvet: almost all the songs on the soundtrack are performed live. The cast employ a range of unusual props, including bubbles and a pogo stick, to reflect (invert?) the sexy bits. This steamy, silly exercise extends the life of the classic ’80s film with profundity and passion. As Jeffrey and Dorothy,  Furey and Fallak are hot, and the rest of the cast — including the fun-to-watch Ryan Hinds — are fabulous.
