Harvey Finkelstein's Sock Puppet Showgirls: Campy Movie, Re-Enacted by Sock Puppets
Theatre Asylum (Hollywood, CA)
Following in the footsteps of Avenue Q, Harvey Finklestein Productions' Chicago cult hit is a risque production featuring puppets. But that's where the similarities end -- as its name suggests, Harvey Finkelstein's Sock Puppet Showgirls retells the campy movie Showgirls in a decidedly low-tech manner. A huge success both in Chicago and New York, the show makes its West Coast premiere at Theatre Asylum.
