Early Buzz: STEVE: A Docu-Musical (@ Joe’s Pub)
After a popular run at this year’s FRIGID New York Festival, STEVE: A Docu-Musical returns for a single performance at Joe’s Pub on April 19, 2014.
STEVE: A Docu-Musical is a solo show performed by Colin Summers. It traces the real and strange relationship he developed with Steve, an eccentric middle-aged man from Australia. Steve hired Colin to make a song from one of his poems. Then Steve sent a second poem, and a third, and so on. Soon Steve was sending emails about other things too: random thoughts, questions, and pieces of information about himself. Five years, 100 songs, and over 6,000 emails later, Colin performs excerpts from their songs, showcases Steve’s self-published books and technological endeavors, and tells their very entertaining story.
We loved the show at FRIGID. It is funny, touching, and clever. Tickets are only $14.

Catch it now because it’s a real treat. I look forward to the future iterations and productions of this tender-hearted gem.
NYtheater Now
Overall, though, this show is a real hoot and definitely one of my favorites in the eight years I’ve been seeing Frigid Festival shows. You should really go and get to know Steve.
