Inspired by the campy Japanese Monster Movie Genre, Giant Green Lizard: The Musical is a ridiculous farce about three American tourists in a Tokyo Karaoke bar on New Years Eve when a famous monster lizard crashes the party. Performed on both of The Maverick's stages, audiences will have the unique opportunity to witness a grown man dressed in a lizard suit crushing buildings on a miniature-scale set of Tokyo. The production has eleven original songs, one of which a giant green lizard gets to sing.

Historic Interviews Recounted in Frost/Nixon

Full Price:

Peter Morgan's Tony Award-nominated play that spawned the critically acclaimed 2006 film pits jet-setting British TV talk-show host David Frost against disgraced former president Richard Nixon in a battle of wits and wills. Desperate to regain his slipped standing as a serious journalist, Frost seeks to elicit from the Watergate-plagued Nixon a detailed explanation and apology, while the ever-political former president has his own agenda. This fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the famous 1977 series of interviews dissects the electrifying battle between Nixon and Frost, revealing both mens insecurities, ego and sense of dignity as they face off in a historic encounter that ultimately changes them both.

Wonderful Venue-SIMPLY AWFUL SHOW!!
Amatuerish in every way. We walked out after 45 minutes (so we gave it a chance). The lyrics are offensive, which I wouldn't have minded, but they were NOT clever either.

While this in no way reflects on the great service Goldstarevents.com provides, I'm sorry to say, this is the first production I've been to that we've walked out on. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS ONE!

Had a great time. The satire was over the top and wonderful. I especially liked the two theater concept. Would return to the Maverick at the next opportunity!

Quotes & Highlights

  • “The songs are cheerfully loopy! …like you'd find in any Saturday Night Live Skit...”, “Making the biggest splash are the set and special effects.” --Backstage West
  • “Ingenious...hilarious…a silly, goofball-funny show that both tips its hat to and derides the campy genre of monster movies…” --OC Register

Description

The producer bills this show as “So gigantic in scope, it requires two theaters to stage it! Not since Jerry Springer The Opera has the stage exploded with such mighty fury, such massive spectacle!”  The theater owners say, “If you come expecting a play with substance, you won’t get your money back.”

Music, lyrics and book by Jeremy Gable
Based on the concept by director Brian Newell
