License to Kiss

TZZ veteran Kevin Kent stars as Mr. C, a secret agent whose mission is to protect the recipe for the perfect dessert in the new cabaret. He spends a fair amount of time in this three-hour dinner show storming through the crowd in stilettos, accusing them of being thieves and assassins, and making jokes at their expense. In the supporting ensemble are local aerialist Kari Podgorski, Swedish acrobat Tobias Larsson, and German singer Sabine Hettlich. Does the TZZ circus-with-your-meal formula ever get boring? No, judging from the way the audience responded during a recent performance. They clapped merrily along to the music. They raised their glasses high when a cast member proposed a toast to love. Many got out of their seats and slow danced during an a cappella rendition of the Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody.” So what if some of them are sauced? That ups the entertainment value. If only weddings had this much zest. ERIKA HOBART
