Blast II: Music In Extreme

The original "Blast!" production ran for a long time on Broadway before the events of September 11th cut its attendance and forced it to close. This unique and entertaining production lives on today as a traveling group performing in a musical spectacle unlike any you have ever seen on stage before.

Ever since seeing "Blast!" I have hoped for a sequel. There have been rumors about that occuring for quite some time and now it appears that the rumors are true! The town of Owensburo, Kentucky will host the premiere performances of "Blast II: Music In Extreme," from June 22-24 before the ensemble packs up for a five month tour of Japan. What happens after that is anyone's guess, but I personally hope to see "Blast II: Music In Extreme," return to the USA after the Japanese tour closes. I only wish I could afford to make a road trip to see it before they leave!

For the record, news of Blast closing was released on September 10th. The events of September 11th were merely coincidental to the stopped run on Broadway.
