Synopsis

Host and costume designer extraordinaire Howard Crabtree triumphs over a tiny budget, balky actors and a near electrocution to produce this dizzy collage of songs and sketches.

It’s spectacle on a shoestring and a valentine to classic musical theatre – with a twist.

Underneath it all percolates an upbeat celebration of gay sensibility, but the audience appeal cuts across all boundaries.

Press Reviews

"Outrageous, but never offensive… A cohesive, ingenious show that gives its audiences a wonderful time."

— UPI

"Zippy, unaffected energy, hap-hap-happy music. A fun show."

— New York Post
