Metal Sludge — Time for an encore is what the organizers of CRUDE are saying after their initial run of 5 performances all sold out.
CRUDE is a theater style play that is based on the baddest of the rock n’ roll boys, Mötley Crüe.
“David Lucarelli’s “Crude” is a great way of taking us right back to this time and place. The brash, loud, sexual, energy floods the stage. The drugs, the poetry, the brazen behaviour, everything that their fans loved so much about them then…and still do.” wrote Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros for NoHo Arts District.
The CRUDE play per their new press release has not been authorized by any members of the band or anyone directly related, but the show has garnered some rave reviews regardless.
