  • Maria I. Arreola: The Elvis Administration by Stephanie Kyung Sun Walters
    “

    An examination of what love is, brilliantly scrutinized through the stories of the various characters.
    I loved the musicality of the dialogue, along with the imagery woven throughout.

    A fantastic look at love through a unique lens that shows us where it can take us with humor. Well done.

    "Show me all the parts of you that you do not love so I know where to begin."

    At once hilarious and earth-shattering, THE ELVIS ADMINISTRATION has a charm that is utterly unique. The musicality and poetry called to mind Charles Mee, but Walters has a voice all her own. She somehow manages to perfectly pair the poignant with the hysterical. With repetition riddled throughout, this play explores the universal vulnerability inherent in loving another creature.

    This play grabbed me right away with it's bold theatrical visual vocabulary and its memorable characters who speak poetically about heartbreak. Why not put Kim Jong-Il in the middle of a rom-com as he's searching for a South Korean bride at a resort wedding while he's trying to destroy America with nuclear weapons? I was particulary drawn in by Turtle-Man, Crab Girk, and of course, the Elvis Impersonator. The metaphors are rather clear in this irreverent, fun romp.
