The best way to describe [title of show] is a unique and clever way to create a musical.

Cilla Scott and Adam King have created a fast paced theatrical experience full of laughs, vibrant performances interwoven with clever dialogue that’s “in your face” from go to whoa.

The small cast of five very talented (individually and collectively) performers: Oliver Thomson, Lisa Marie Gargione, Stephen Hurst and Anna Sofroniou and the seldom seen but ever present Matt Dennett (the Musical Director) work their butts off creating a Broadway style Musical for the New York Music Theatre Festival.

Paulo Natividad’s exciting choreography works well with the cast who are on stage for most of the 90-minute length of this one act world wind.

Working with a bare stage, four office chairs on wheels and a handful of other props the cast and production team deliver an interesting insight into creating this piece of theatre. ( create: to make something out of nothing.)

Amid the numerous uses of the “F” word and references to Adult themes, [title of show] is very entertaining.
