Confession: I've never read comic books (unless you count the graphic novel
Fun Home,
because theater). I didn't even know there was such a thing as
love comics, which apparently were love stories in comic book form, popular in the mid last century. But I know about it now, thanks to
Minneapolis Musical Theatre. The musical
Love Comics plays loving and playful homage to the tradition of romance comics. Big emotions, melodrama, love lost and found, and fun '50s era costumes. It's a clever and cute little show
playing on Bryant-Lake Bowl's cute little stage through March 2.
