A delicious romp way downtown on the east side at the Richmond Shepard Theatre (huh? where?) - yes the former Vineyard theatre space, i presume - on East 26th almost in the river!
Let's all be clear - Broadway-bound this show is not. A delightful, naughty, and entertaining tuner, indeed it is. Composer Andrew Sargent (a whole lotta delicious item all by himself off-stage) and the amazingly vivacious David Leddick (book, lyrics, and MC/star of the show) take full charge of the melodies along with a charming, if slightly campy (how could it not be?!) plot.
Of course all the boys are cute. Duh. But there's cleverly something for everyone - hot twink (Peter Krug), ripped and hung (Randall Holloway), sexy hairy Latino (Mario Castro), Israeli stud (Michael Argento), and the stand-out performer who stole the entire show - fuzzy, beefy shaved headed daddy with a flawless, classically trained operatic voice (Andrew Ryan Rix).
Playing for just this week - grab a ticket. grab a cab. and grab some ass down on the east side. This one won't last here long. But I'm sure we'll see it in pTown or some other fun gay summer spot!
