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

The actors were good, the sets were great and I enjoyed the music, so why did I leave feeling it was just ok?

This is a very appealing musical play. The story line is one we've heard before. Poor boy meets rich girl and there are social conflicts. The lyrics are fabulous even though they sound famliar( Fiddler on the Roof?)
It should be Off Broadway for those looking for investment in a sure success.
