SHTICKING TOGETHER – a review of The Klondike Rag
John Threlfall, Monday Magazine, Victoria, BC
History never sounded so good. A fresh, funny and furiously fast-paced slice of Canadian history, as told in a musical theatre style…The Klondike Rag is a blast!
The premise is simple. Three lousy Victoria-based vaudevillians – the Flim Flam Brothers – are so bad that they’re starving and about to break up when the Klondike gold rush hits: jumping a sternwheeler for Alaska, the trio hit the gold fields…only to discover they suck at that, too.
14 original songs packed into 45 minutes and 1,300 kilometres of travel. It’s about vaudeville, and it’s also Chaplin-esque humour of the finest kind.
Running Time: 46 minutes
