It was an entertaining show with talented singers, and very clever lyrics. However, we went on a balmy summer evening, and the theatre was way too warm. Most of the audience members were using their programs as fans....so be prepared for a fun evening, but keep your angora sweater at home!!Written on Sep 14 2008

Description
The 19 hilarious songs at the heart of It's the Housewives! -- with titles like "In Sink and at Your Disposal," "Ironing Bored," "I've Been Defrosting All Day" and the "Reynolds Rap" -- are the brainchild of two-time Grammy award-winning guitarist Laurence Juber (former lead guitarist for Paul McCartney's Wings) and his Emmy-nominated wife, television writer Hope Juber. Soon after they were married, Hope wanted to combine her comedy writing with Laurence's rock and roll music. She became inspired while caring for the first of their two babies, and the songs they created about vacuum cleaners ("It Sucks"), dirty diapers ("Be My Babysitter") and daily household duties ("Pledge or Behold") went on to cook up a storm on "Entertainment Tonight," "Hard Copy," "John and Leeza," "The Home Show" and "Oprah." Last year, Hope teamed with writer Ellen Guylas ("Full House," "Phil of the Future") to develop the songs into a full-fledged book musical.
In addition to the three singing housewives, the cast at the Whitefire features Jed Alexander, Tony Cicchetti, Daniel Gordon, Andy Lurie and Sue Mullen.
Composer/lyricist/musical director Laurence Juber was lead guitarist for Paul McCartney's band Wings, during which time he won a Best Rock Instrumental Grammy for the track "Rockestra" from the album Back To The Egg. After Wings disbanded in 1981, Juber embarked on a career as a solo artist, composer and arranger. He soon developed a reputation as a world-class guitar virtuoso and was voted #1 by Fingerstyle Guitar magazine. He has released 14 critically acclaimed solo albums. His solo guitar arrangement of "The Pink Panther Theme" is featured on the Best Pop Instrumental Grammy-winning album Henry Mancini-Pink Guitar.
The daughter of "The Brady Bunch" (and "Gilligan's Island") creator Sherwood Schwartz, Hope Juber's first professional entertainment experience was playing Rachel, Greg Brady's girlfriend, on the television show. In recent years, Hope has focused on writing musicals, penning four for Storybook Theater of Los Angeles, two of which -- Mother Goose The Musical and The Princess and The Frog -- won the ADA (Artistic Director Achievement) Award for Best Original Children's Musical. With Laurence she then wrote the score to Gilligan's Island, The Musical, which is being readied for a national tour. She and her brother Lloyd co-wrote the third Brady Bunch movie, "The Brady Bunch in The White House," and she received an Emmy nomination for the TV Land special "Still Brady After All These Years." Most recently, Hope, Laurence and Lloyd teamed to write A Very Brady Musical, currently running to rave reviews at Theatre West in Hollywood.
