| Introduction = '''Glam Slam Ulysses ''' is a 1993 stage production, loosely based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey Homer’s Odyssey]. It combined video and live performance and was advertised as ‘The Homer-Erotic Odyssey of Ulysses and His Gang, “Strays of the World”, Through the Universe of Glam Slam’ and billed as being ‘presented in Glam-o-Rama’ and featuring ‘13 new songs’, where each song was meant to represented an element from Homer’s Odyssey. It was performed at [[Venue: Glam Slam West|Glam Slam]] in Los Angeles, California with a capacity of 400 patrons per show for the event. Tickets costed $ 19.99 for the 7:30 shows and $ 15.00 for the Sunday matinees. | |||

It was called “simply silly” in the Los Angeles Times, while the reviewer in LA Weekly felt that “Prince’s pretensions once again overshadow his talent” and criticized the show for its lack of “interaction.” For those who are familiar with the original telling of Ulysses, the show is easier to understand, but many left wondering what it was all about. The dancing is good, but compared to the Joffrey Ballet, the choreography is awkward. The costuming was revealing and true Prince-type sexual/non-functional items that barely covered the naughty parts. Despite the negative criticism, the production is expected to tour nightclubs in the States in the autumn/winter. --> | ||
