White Noise

A Whoopi Goldberg production:
Everything in the society we live in that’s corrupted, cruel, wrong, influenced in is explored with wit and talent. The humour throughout the play is pure ludicrousness. On first impressions after reading the synopsis I cant say I was thrilled or excited to see the show. But boy! did the theatre prove me wrong. The Royal George Theatre opposite the Stephen King theatre gave a powerful performance. Each character dynamic, explosive and believable. Though one girl seemed to over power the other-​however the show went on. The songs were catchy– I recall tapping my foot at one point and wanting to dance. The sound was fantastic, the set changes and custom changes top notch! The theatre was beautifully organised. Our tickets got promoted at the door which is always a plus :) The two hour long show impelled all sorts of feelings but boredom was certainly not one of them. One of the best theatre shows I’ve seen. Completely recommended.

The ending wasn’t worth the time invested. I felt the musical was elementary, despite covering serious topics. It didn’t make any major breakthroughs.
It was a quality production, the live band was unbelievable. I just didn’t like how obvious the story line and writing were.
Thank you for the opportunity to see the production Unilocal and White Noise.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME musical! I’m a huge musical buff and this production was nothing I’ve ever seen before. The storyline really gives a subtle message. I hope everyone gets it and understands what this show is about! The singing, music, dancing, rap, and acting were brilliant. Everyone did a sensational job! I was blown away at how great this production was. I even admit that parts of the musical made me cry! Thanks so much to Unilocal for offering free tickets to this show (it was so good I may even pay to see it again!) Definitely a show not to be missed!

First of all thank you to Unilocal for the free evening to exciting entertainment. These tickets were a part of the « Unilocal Gets Cultured» week… what a wonderful idea and we were so happy to be a part of it!
We LOVED the performance of White Noise. The music was fantastic, the acting was out of this world, and the energy in the room was totally buzzing! The Royal George was a perfect venue for this emotional whirlwind of a show. Awesome. Great. I would recommend this show to everyone over the age of 16. Once again… the talent was TOP OF THE LINE… I hope the show is extended so others will be able to experience this TOTALLY gripping and biting-«perfectly imperfect» musical. 5+ stars. LOVED it. SEE it!

We went last night as part of Unilocal Gets Cultured and boy, was I floored. Great actors/​musicians. Fantastic story that really shows what can go on behind the scenes of the music business. Drama galore. Fabulous choreography, lighting and music. This show hits hard on some issues in today’s music. I laughed, I clapped wildly and I cringed. It is a fantastic show. We came out of the theatre still awestruck. Go while you can!

This show is historic, relevant, politically incorrect-​at the highest level, emotional, awe inspiring, and just really freaking good! You will go from gut wrenching laughs when you are pretty sure you should not laugh, to deeply emotional moments that will bring tears to your eyes…
I have experienced live theater all over our great country, from the ballet to the symphony, from the mainstream to indie, from spoken word to improv; I have never seen such a beautiful and talented cast with so much depth on any live theater stage in any capacity ever! Prepare your self for a cast of STARS with beauty, grace, whit and pure talent at the highest level! The casting director is a genius; TRUTH!
This is one of those moments in art, where you must have an open mind, because much of the content in this piece is very hard to swallow, you will be filled with uncomfortable moments, as racial epithets are freely spewed even cleverly versed in brilliant musical productions… Politically incorrect dialogue centered on race, religion, and sexual orientation have a constant presence. White Noise is like a deep muscle manipulating massage, it will be painful you will walk away with some bruises, but in the end you know it was all for the greater good!
This piece of work will make most people, myself included question their day to day decisions; past present and future, both professionally and personally… White Noise has the potential to change minds, open dialogue and help to foster another step forward in our cultural maturity. The U.S.A. has a lot of growing up to do, a lot of axes to bury, and a whole lot of healing to do, this artwork will be a great catalyst for healing through the strongest of all human emotions EMPATHY!
White Noise I am coming for an encore presentation and that may not be enough!

I’m honestly surprised that I’m the first to review this show separately, I hope I do it justice.
First of all I have to stay that Unilocal spoils me, got to see White Noise tonight as part of the weeklong ‘Yelp Gets Cultured’ event. Simply amazing. The energy, the lights, the sounds, the music, it was all perfect. The Royal George Theater provides an intimate but professional setting for the show. Our seats were fantastic but because of the size I would imagine most seats in the house could be categorized the same way. From the opening number to the closing, I was a kid in a candy store — bright eyes with a dumb grin. The musical bills itself as ‘a cautionary musical that challenges the notions of free speech, media and the power of pop culture.’ The story was full of contrast and honesty conveyed by amazing singers and musicians. Add in some love and drama and you have yourselves a hit.
Overall I loved it, all of the actors did an spectacular job. The music is catchy and the story is relevant and poignant. It’s only around until June 5 so I would advise ya’ll to get to the Royal George and check it out before it’s too late. Goldstar is offering discount tickets (

From the Royal George Website:
WHITE NOISE pulls back the curtain at a major record label where a top-​selling producer stirs up an explosive cocktail of shock and spin with a splash of controversy to package talented artists into blockbuster stars. Steadily baited by the lure of mainstream fame and power, two diametrically opposed groups — «White Noise», an irresistible pop band that churns out catchy tunes of coded rhetoric and «Bloodbrothas», the hip-​hop-​turned-​gangsta-​rap duo — each willing to compromise anything for success, collide with consequence at the top of the charts. Set in today’s music industry, WHITE NOISE is a timely and cautionary tale challenging conventional notions of free speech, media and the power of pop culture.
I don’t know what you are still waiting for — go buy your tickets, you don’t want to miss this one!
