Deadwood Dick: Western Melodrama Packed With Thrills, Chills & Laughs
Archway Theatre (North Hollywood, CA)
A million times funnier than A Million Ways to Die in the West, way more brilliant than Blazing Saddles, Deadwood Dick, or The Game of Gold! is the kind of rip-roarin’ stage Western that will get you cheering … and booing (it is a melodrama, after all). Chock-full of quick-draw heroes, fresh-faced maidens and black-hearted gamblers, this “Rootin’ Tootin’ homage packs the funniest, most exciting bits from the dime novels of Edward L. Wheeler into one wild romp. Someone disguised as Deadwood Dick — the Robin Hood of the Black Hills — has kidnapped a wealthy heiress. It’s up to handsome Ned Harris to straighten things out. Expect cameos from the likes of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane during this extremely fun production at Archway Theatre.
