- Full Price:

Comedy meets the scantily clad as the burlesque-parody, all-female sketch comedy troupe Off Off Broadzway presents its monthly revue, Does My Fat Ass Make My Ass Look Fat? at Stage 773. Gleefully inappropriate, Fat finds the Broadz performing original acts of song, dance and total chaos in a brand new show every month. Sequins and dirty jokes abound as the five Broadz and the show's gloriously creepy "male" host deliver big laughs and an eyeful of entertainment thanks to sharp writing, catchy songs and an anything-goes sensibility.

Featured review from Veronika
view more less of this reviewToo long. Three hours is too long for the most action-packed, concise, emotionally charged play Shakespeare ever wrote. The actors did a great job (exception: Duncan, also the director, who seemingly forgot to rehearse) to overcome the weight of the Dust Bowl idea which was not clearly conceived or consistently carried out. Maybe it would have worked if it had been integrated into the heart of the play, not just clumsily bolted on. The Hecate character is possibly the single most annoying feature of this long-winded production. Her high-pitched singing grated on the nerves and the character did nothing to move the action forward. Again, the actors were fabulous and delivered their lines with skill and passion--too bad they couldn't break free from the uneven staging and tedious sound effects. Their effort is the sole reason for three stars.

star this review starred report as inappropriateExcellent. Brush up on your Macbeth. If you have never read Macbeth or it's been a long time since you have, I would advise reading at least a summary. If I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have understood what was going on. The play was very enjoyable
star this review starred report as inappropriateThis is a fresh take on Macbeth. The performances by this group of actors were powerful. The intimacy of the theatre made the experience especially enjoyable.
