FLOP!

4.5/5 STARS
"Anton Lipovetsky is warm, engaging and has a charming voice on the clever songs that form the backbone of this production."
- Gordon Kent, Edmonton Journal

5/5 STARS
"Lipovetsky sings, stomps and generally sweats his way from auditions to opening night. His original script is sharp and endlessly quick on its feet, while his vulnerable, Ben Kweller-esque voice wears its desperation on its sleeve. Packed with belly laughs and ably developed characters, it's also got a heart of gold buried somewhere beneath all that panic. A total joy."
- Michael Hingston, Vue Weekly

FLOP! is an original musical written and performed by rising theatre star Anton Lipovetsky, accompanied by Mishelle Cuttler on the piano. For theatre director Jimmy Labbe, the success of his first show is life and death. When he's forced to oversee a production so horrible it cannot be saved, Jimmy Labbe watches his dreams hopelessly FLOP!. Mortified, he manages to escape to his brother's small-town home, only to find himself destined to FLOP! again in his worst nightmare: directing Romeo & Juliet at a high school. Struggling to find redemption, he begins to learn what it truly means to be successful, and more importantly, what it truly means to FLOP!
