Naughty! The Musical
Premiering at the
Northwest Actors Studio Cabaret in Seattle, Washington, "Naughty! The
Musical" played to delighted audiences throughout the Holiday Season.
Here's a review from
NWSource.com:
"If you see only
one 'Christmas' play this season, 'Naughty! The Musical' should be the one.
Especially if you are allergic to the commercialism and false
"niceness" that the season imposes on all of us. All the characters,
from Mrs. Santa Claus, who’s mad as hell
and isn’t going to take it anymore, to the wisest aging but engaging elf you’ve
ever seen, are perfectly played and perfectly hilarious. The music is spirited,
the lyrics are smart and funny, and the show is
guaranteed to give you some big round belly laughs along the way. I also liked
how the humor builds as we become more familiar with the characters. I can't think of time better spent this
holiday season. You want something different for Christmas? Be Naughty!"
