"Jungle Red" is a delightful gala musical extravaganza on themes suggested by "The Women" by Claire Booth Luce.
Written by Mark "Ethel Merman" Sargent and Richard Winchester, the two-act, two-plus hour musical pays parodic homage to the 1939 film.
Come for the costumes - they are spectacular! - but stay for the eponymous musical number, performed by Varla Jean Merman(Jeffery Roberson) in the role of shop girl/home wrecker Crystal (played by Joan Crawford in the film). Accompanied by a chorus of twirling fingernails, director Donna Drake brings a Busby Berkeley flair to the stage of the Victoria Theater through October 8.
About Me
- Geheebers
- I'm a seriously un-serious man-about-town who spends his days hard at work and evenings hard at play. I am an enthusiastic consumer of The Arts, including (but not limited to) theater, opera, and symphonies. I am often correctly pegged as a "theater queen" and nothing sets my tootsies a-tappin' like a good Broadway musical
