Here is my review of the show in Edmonton:

So I read here about a week ago that "Paradise City" would be playing at a 
small thetre in my hometown, Edmonton. I thought this would be pretty cool 
seeing as I haven't been in the Guns n Roses mood very much as of late.

The premise of the play is that a guy from the midwest comes to a big city 
in seach of something new and different in his life. The show starts off 
with WTTJ and the cast of 8 or so all sing different parts. Right away I 
noticed they were all very good singers and the music was waaay off from 
traditional Guns songs. It was really cool to see someone rearrange the 
songs and have them mostly piano driven.

The songs they played were WTTJ, SCOM, Patience, Reckless Life, My Michelle, 
NR, Estranged, Yesterdays, YCBM, Dont Cry, PC, Used to Love Her and You're 
Crazy.

They did a medley of Yesterdays, PC, SCOM and Estranged before the 
intermission and it was soooo killer. I loved every moment of this play 
tonight. I was rad to hear all these songs from someone elses point of view. 
One interesting thing was Reckless Life had the Alien Ant Farm guitar line 
to it. It fit really well. The overall impression was sort of a jazz deal 
with the songs. Estranged was a standout duet.

I kept thinking, "What if Axl were here...". I mean he probably would have
been blow away. His lyrics obviously can represent so many things. His songs 
can also be rearranged magnificently. If you are around Edmonton, check it 
out for sure.

Here's a skim of the plot: guy comes from small town to big town. Guy gets 
job at bar where he falls in love with a girl (Michelle) who sings there. He 
befriends a man in the mob and does jobs (driving stolen merch) for him 
without knowing it. He becomes in trouble with the head honcho of the mob. 
He and his new friends scare the dude away with their guns... (through a 
blaze of guns and roses)... I guess you had to have been there...

It was also kind of eerie how the venue was only half full. Kinda reminded 
me of when I saw them in Tacoma, WA. Maybe it is because it was Good Friday.
