The world lost some of its sunshine and star power when the famed comedian Robin Williams died almost nine years ago today. He was our Mork, our favorite alien, Adrian Cronauer the wise cracking disc jockey in “Good Morning Vietnam,” a philosophical English professor in “Dead Poets Society, the desperate dad who becomes a female nanny to get time with his kids in “Mrs Doubtfire,” and the gregarious genie in “Aladdin.”
Williams played a healing doctor with a prescription for laughter in “Patch Adams,” Teddy Roosevelt in “Night at the Museum,” the voices of penguins in “Happy Feet” and “Happy Feet Two,” as well as a string of other movies, television, and Broadway roles. Now, thanks to Seven Angels Theatre in Waterbury, for one night only, Saturday, August 12 at 8 p.m., “Robin - The Robin Williams Tribute Experience” will magically appear before your disbelieving eyes. Courtesy of the genius of Roger Kabler, comedian and impressionist, Robin Williams will greet you once again.
With signature suspenders, wild floral shirt, curly haired wig and frenetic spirit, Roger Kabler will channel the iconic performer and his eclectic, electric energy. As jester and clown, Kabler will conjure up his icon with facial expressions, crazy dance moves and trademark mannerisms.
Kabler claims he dreams as Robin, communing and connecting with his essence, empowering him as if he were “hang gliding in a hurricane.” He honestly believes he would have Robin’s Seal of Approval for his act.
For tickets ($35), call Seven Angels Theatre, 1 Plank Road, Hamilton Park, Waterbury at 203-757-4676 or online at sevenangelstheatre.org. The bar opens at 7 p.m. Groups are welcome.
Start practicing your Na-Nu, Na-Nu, and KO and Shazbut for the late great Robin Williams is back in town.
