The Kinks staged a fake soap opera in 1975 and somehow made it legendary.
An entire performance of The Kinks' Soap Opera stage show filmed (in black & white) by RCA Records during their 3 night run at the Beacon Theatre, New York City in May 1975. The film was given a brief theatrical run from July 1975 before being pulled.
Acting
Ray Davies commits fully to his Norman character.
Production
Intimate Beacon Theatre staging feels gloriously homemade.
Writing
Satirical lyrics sharper than most actual 70s sitcoms.
