"hilarious...a total goof...irreverent spoof - it's sheer preposterousness..."  Houston Chronicle

"one entertaining package...the show works.  I found myself grinning, if not outright laughing through most of the goofy shenanigans."  Houston Press  Read the entire review at http://www/houstonpress.com/2009-04-30/culture/yes-we-khan/

 

Winner of the Outstanding Musical 
at 2008 NYC International Fringe Festival


China: The Whole Enchilada

by Mark Brown

Musical Arrangements by Paul Mirkovich

Directed and choreographed by Linda Phenix

One of the standout NYC International Fringe Festival's hits makes its Regional Premiere at Theater LaB Houston

This hilarious new musical has three men singing, dancing and irreverently marching their way through four thousand years of Chinese history.  The show dares to tackle racism, human rights, genocide and the birth of the fortune cookie.

The three actors play a troupe of performers aiming to tell all of Chinese history. It's a ridiculous idea, one made more lunatic by the fact that one is an expert on China, thus too somber; one is a paranoid nationalist, thus too racist; and one is an imbecile, thus incapable of distinguishing between China and Japan.

Who knew that Peking Man  was a lounge singer?  Who knew one could cram Wang Chung, Connie Chung, Chun King Chinese food and Ricardo Montalban into the lyrics of a song?  The takeoff on Abbot & Costello's "Who's on first?" routine isn't just inspired, it's insane.

The cast features Houston favorites: Jimmy Phillips, Kregg Dailey and Josh Wright

Come hear and see much more in this outrageous new Musical Comedy.  If you enjoyed our productions of "The Big Bang", "Box Office of the Damned", "The Musical of Musicals", and "Johnny Guitar, the Musical"  then you have to come see and laugh out loud at our latest find...
