Cheesy.
Ridiculous!
OUTRAGEOUS!
I had no idea what this show was about before I sat down (don't be late - you don't want to miss the first number like I did) but the story was easy to follow. The music is so fun and familiar - "It's Raining Men," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," "I Will Survive" - you get the idea. The sassy dialogue has a lot of double entendres with witty zing; the guys in the cast are like the gay best friends every girl wishes she had to tell her that those shoes make her elbows look crooked, or that her lousy ex-boyfriend looked like he was terrible in bed anyway.
The somber notes of the musical briefly touched base on some heated topics of social debate, so for those of you who have a serious problem with shirtless men prancing around stage singing about joyful topics like survival, independence, and love, I would suggest instead writing an angry letter to your Republican congressman about the indecency and travesty of this production. The nerve!
On tour now until August 18th! Catch it while you can :)
