All Singing, All Dancing, All Dinky Car!

Blair's Dinky Car Rock Opera- Move Over Meatloaf!

The cars moved from the ground to the counter and were organised into three rows, then as a hush descended over his human audience, the cars began to sing.  The two rows of cars began to sing "Ariel's song but like boys".  So it was basically "Aaah ah. Ah ah aaaah ah" but in a manly four-year-old's baritone.  After several songs the cars were rearranged into a different tableau.  The narrator informed us that the choir of boy mermaid cars were now going to be the audience.  It was then that we were privileged to witness the monster truck's rap "Dun du dun-dun" repeat and when that beat is so fresh, repeat several hundred more times while spinning around and poppin' wheelies.  The narrator then informed us that the monster truck was so loud that you couldn't hear the singing cars.

Another rearrangement of the cars and we were once again treated to the sweet sound stylings of the mer-cars.  And then just like that it was all over.  Blair had smashed all of the old theater conventions, while not throwing the baby out with the bath water.  His usage of the dithyrambic all boy mer-car choir was brilliant.  The narrator giving a play by play reading of stage directions made one feel like they were themselves actors receiving direction. Mixing in a hip hop dancing monster truck to drive the plot forward disrupted the serenity of the dinky car chorus.  That haunting rap is a sad commentary on modern society.  Mr. Rappin' Monster Truck you loud beat  is a reminder to us all to take out turn and to listen to others.

Rumors of a movie are already circulating like wild fire.  It has been my great pleasure to have witnessed the evolution of this drama, from the first time he mobilized his cars on the window ledges of my Nan's sun room when he was two years old until it's final production.  If you see nothing else this year see Blair's rock opera- so cool it doesn't even have a name.  I can only weep and hope for a follow up play however what could possibly follow that.  I for one will never be the same, conventional theater will seem dull after that spectacular.
