By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Q1: Are "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA" at La Jolla Playhouse and Gelli Haha's tour related projects?
A1: No, they are separate artistic works that emerged concurrently in 2026. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA is an avant-garde stage play produced by La Jolla Playhouse, while Gelli Haha is an independent touring musician and performance artist staging an immersive live circus across indie venues.
Q2: What should attendees expect at a Gelli Haha live show?
A2: Expect high physical participation, eccentric DIY stage costuming, prop-heavy gags, and a fast-paced blend of indie-pop, punk instrumentation, and clowning. Shows typically run 70, 90 minutes in standing-room-only clubs like Holocene and Schubas Tavern.
Q3: Will the La Jolla Playhouse production of "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA" tour nationally?
A3: Regional theater world premieres frequently serve as testing grounds for commercial Off-Broadway or touring transfers. While official extension dates have not been formalized beyond the California run, the strong critical reception from theater review outlets has positioned the production as a prime contender for festival runs and coastal transfers.
