You, DeNiro, and Sin City's Most Opulent V…

Think you can act? So does Keanu Reeves.

Show Keanu how it's done by playing his part in Point Break Live, the hilarious film adaptation of cheesy 1991 action movie Point Break.

Each night an audience member is chosen to play Keanu's lead role as Johnny Utah, the undercover FBI agent who busts a ring of bank robbing surfers led by Patrick Swayze's character Bodhi.

After a quick audition in which the audience member is chosen by crowd applause, Utah reads his lines off cue cards for the rest of the play. (The difference between this and actual Reeves acting is, well, negligible.)

Stuffed with over-the-top action movie clichés including explosions, fist fights, excessive gunfire, skydiving and plenty of fake blood, Point Break Live titillates audiences with a plot so ridiculous it could make Sad Keanu smile. TOP IN NIGHTLIFE

Be sure and spring the extra $1 for a “survival kit” poncho — unless you want fake Meet Your Newest Drink of Choice blood to spoil your otherwise gnarly Keanu hoodie. (Or 5 of Them)
