Why see 'Bronco Billy'? Because it's silly, and that's all it needs to be, DarylHMiller writes.
Eric B. Anthony, center, is the title Wild West show star and Amanda Leigh Jerry, right, his would-be love interest in"Bronco Billy: The Musical." Such is the case with “Bronco Billy: The Musical” at the Skylight Theatre in Los Feliz. Wholly embracing its preposterousness, this sprightly, enjoyable show is a huge improvement on its source: a humorless, casually sexist 1980 movie from Clint Eastwood’s ill-considered comedy phase.
Theatergoers enter to find the stage swathed with colorful, tent-like fabric, signaling that they’ve entered Bronco Billy’s traveling Wild West show. A ringmaster — or ringmistress, in this case — asks us “little pardners and big buckaroos” to relax into our seats while the troupe acts out a story. No realism here, folks, just tent-show escapism.
