Houston's Premiere Off-Broadway TheaterTHANKS FOR A TERRIFIC 16TH SEASON WE'LL BE BACK IN THE FALL "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
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...
