While the woes of midlife and menopause are the topics du jour of many books, magazine articles and theatrical productions targeting the burgeoning baby-boomer market, 3 Blacque Chix (Mariann Aalda, Lola Love and Iona Morris) promised that the only "hot flashes" in Herotique-aahh..., their taboo-busting, 60-minute cabaret of saucy, sexual merriment, would be the result of unforeseen wardrobe malfunctions.
But not even the three actresses - who, in addition to starring in the show, also wrote and produced it - were able to foresee that the enthusiastic buzz created by the capacity audience on the rainy opening-night of their recent debut run at L.A.'s popular Club 5 Lounge, would force the establishment to remove the tables so they could squeeze in more chairs to accommodate the standing-room only crowds on the remaining two nights.
With three women sitting on stools - as the pseudonymous purveyors of sexual liberation, "Ladies M, L and I" - comparisons to The Vagina Monologues, the successful, female-celebrity vehicle of a few years ago, is inevitable. However, Love, who plays the dominatrix, "Lady L," declares otherwise. "There is no comparison," she says, "because we don't discriminate. We celebrate all genitalia equally."
"We wrote this show because we wanted to change the paradigm on 'mature' sex," continues Aalda, who plays "Lady M," the reformed Stepford wife, "and obviously we struck a chord." Morris, who plays "Lady I," the goddess of sexual freedom, concurs. "It's often said that 'youth is wasted on the young,' but our message is that sex shouldn't be. We talk very candidly; often, humorously - and in some cases, graphically - about the fulfillment of sexual pleasure...and people are responding in ways we never imagined. One audience response card read: 'This is our fourteenth wedding anniversary, and you've inspired us to go home and try it fourteen different ways!' Now that's entertainment!"
