Point Break live!

Another secret (well, not really, it's pretty well known) - I'm a huge Point Break fan. An outstanding look at early 90's, adreneline-seeking SoCal'ers. I think this was Swayze at his peak, and Busey should have received an award for his performance. ("Utah, gimme two!").

Anyway, I raise this because this Friday I will be attending Point Break Live!, a staged reproduction of the movie!
The show, which garnered a “Seattle P-I Best of Seattle 2004” award, as well as
rave reviews across the nation, tells the story of former college football star
Johnny Utah—Keanu Reeves in the film—in pursuit of the bankrobbing, skydiving,
bare-hand-fighting adrenaline-junkie-cum-Zenmaster Bodhi Sattva (Patrick
Swayze—here played by Gearick Matthies), and features armed robbery, big-wave
surfing, car chases, explosions, and no less than two extended skydiving
sequences.

As absurd as this sounds, it gets better - "Best of all, the starring role of Keanu will be selected at random from the audience each night, and will read their entire script off of cue-cards!"

Are you kidding me? The little hand says it's time to rock and roll.
