Let's Misbehave
It's 1935 in the wee hours of the
morning in Dorothy's stylish New
York apartment where a swell party
has just ended. Dorothy, Walter
and Alice linger over a nightcap
and some delicious gossip about
the departing guests. The three
friends delight in each other's
company. . . until the witty banter
and fun reveal a complicated
triangle of affections. This is the
setting for an effervescent evening
of more than 30 sparkling jewels
from the Cole Porter repertoire
including classics like I Get A Kick
Out of You, Anything Goes, Begin the
Beguine, Night And Day and In the
Still of the Night as well as some
lesser known gems like Find Me A
Primitive Man, Never Never Be An
Artist and Most Gentlemen Don't
Like Love.

The Big Bang
Jed and Boyd are ambitious young
songwriters hosting a backer's
audition to finance their show
The Big Bang, the most extravagant
musical ever written. However for
this evening it's just the two guys
madly tearing around a Park
Avenue penthouse using every
available piece of furniture and
home decor to act out all the parts
of their show whose subject is the
entire history of the world. Adam
and Eve enjoy free food in Eden.
Slaves kvetch about schlepping
stones to build the pyramids.
Nefertiti's a soul diva. Caesar
ignores the soothsayer's warning
about getting "whacked."
Pocahontas and Minnehaha in a
Manhattan bar bemoan the lackluster
dating scene. And a hasty
closing number sums up the whole
20th century in one frantic finale.
The writing is brilliantly clever,
outrageous stereotypes abound
and the energy never lags as Time
flies by in a flurry of hilarity.

Life Could Be A Dream
A delightful follow-up to last summer's
hit The Marvelous Wonderettes,
this show (also by Roger Bean) introduces
the Crooning Crabcakes, the
boys banned from the Wonderettes'
prom, as they prepare to enter the
Big Whopper Radio contest and realize
their dreams of making it to the
big time. Lois arrives to put some
polish on the boys. Denny and
Wally fall in love, Eugene falls apart,
and along comes handsome heartthrob
Skip to send the whole situation
spinning. The '60s doo-wop
songs say it all: Fools Fall in Love,
Tears on My Pillow, Runaround Sue,
Earth Angel, Stay, Unchained Melody,
Just Like Romeo and Juliet, Easier Said
Than Done, Lonely Teardrops and
The Glory of Love. Winner of the Los
Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award.
