Karaoke Knights, a one-man rock opera by Tim Mooney and Ray Lewis

<body> <font face="Verdana" size="2"><b>Karaoke Knights A One-Man Rock Opera</b> captures <a href="characters.html">five guys</a> engaged in a winner-take-all karaoke competition as the show's original songs reveal the characters' hopes, dreams and fears behind and beneath the familiar pop numbers coming from the karaoke jukebox.<br> <br> "Mooney does a remarkable job of sketching each character's personality with just a prop or two, a distinct singing voice, telling gestures and apt facial expressions... (He) tells each character's story through the lyrics of the production's original songs, which are at turns witty, unctuous and poignant.  All five tales meld into one story about the often-futile desire to find another person with whom to sing in harmony, even if the duet only lasts as long as the "la la la la" chorus of a synth-drenched '80s hit. The theme resonates long after the show's last tinny note fades, because just about everyone knows the words to that song."<br> -- C.E. Hanifin, Cincinnati Enquirer</font> </body>
