Car Talk: The Musical!!! - Inspired by the Hit NPR Call-In Show

Full Price:
$45.00 - $50.00
Our Price:
$22.50 - $25.00

Inspired by the long-running hit NPR show Car Talk -- which is hosted by legendary (real-life) mechanics Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers -- comes the hilarious new musical comedy, Car Talk: The Musical!!! at Central Square Theater. A co-production of Underground Railway Theater and Suffolk University, the show was written by Suffolk faculty member Wesley Savick, with original music by Michael Wartofsky. In it, Rusty Fenders, the hapless owner of a lemon '93 Kia, falls in love with Miata C. LaChassis. She guides him to the Emerald Garage, home to the Wizard of Cahs (portrayed by the recorded, heavily accented voices of Click and Clack themselves). Like the radio show, it's a romantic comedy about being in love with your car -- and so, so much more. Learn More
