Dirty Blonde: Tony Award-Nominated Comedy About Mae West

Full Price:
$29.00 - $42.00
Our Price:
$14.50 - $21.00

Cygnet Theatre presents Claudia Shear's Broadway hit Dirty Blonde. Nominated for five Tony Awards in 2000 including Best Play, the comedy weaves the life story of Mae West with the sweetly oddball romance of two lonely New Yorkers who are obsessed with the star. Chronicling West's colorful career, from her beginnings in vaudeville to her legendary stature as one of the silver screen's greatest bombshells, Dirty Blonde also includes songs from West movies like I'm No Angel and She Done Him Wrong. The love-comedy with music features cross-dressing, an appearance by W.C. Fields and a body building musical number. Learn More

It was an odd play. I'm glad that I saw it, but I wouldn't go see it again. Leaving the theater I thought to myself that it reminded me of some of my own writing, which is why I'm not recognized today as a play-write. The acting was fine, but again, I don't think the actors had much to work with other than memorizing expletives. Perhaps I missed something, as I did doze off several times.

Yes, a "dark comedy," as advertised, and a little quirky -- but fun. 3 out of 4 of us in our party really enjoyed it. I can definitely see Christopher Walken playing the lead (as he did on Broadway).

Description

All Carmichael wants is a hand... his hand.

A Behanding in Spokane is the hilarious dark comedy from award-winning Irish playwright, Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, The Lieutenant of Inishmore). The title is just the starting point; take a man searching for his missing hand, two con artists out to make a few hundred bucks, and an overly curious hotel clerk, and the rest is up for grabs.
