IT WAS A GREAT SHOW although Sharon McNight perhaps isn't for everyone....... you will love or hate her I suppose. I can't imagine anyone really hating her!! I happen to LOVE her and her big, big personality..... one of the few remaining old school "Grand Dames". So Talented, Funny, Can Really Belt Out a Tune!! I saw her many, many years ago and never forgot her nor will you if you go.Written on Feb 27 2009
Ok the show might be vulgar and nasty to some (so be forewarned)..... for others it will be a naughty pleasure!!! Sorry to see it wasn't a sellout for her Opening Night, it should have been and will once the word gets out!!........ Jump on it's a bumpy ride and not for whimps. At first you might think hum.... she is rather small and unassuming upon taking the stage, then once she gets her groove on, she gains momentum and there is no turning back!!

Completely irreverant. This lady is such a hoot. Completely unexpected and fresh, although not for the faint at heart!Written on Mar 09 2009

Go see this show for a truly funny night out - she's only there one more weekend - rush out, don't miss Sharon. I joined her mailing list because I want to catch her Sophie Tucker show when she brings it to LA - she has a new fan in me.Written on Mar 02 2009

More Information About Sharon McNight - Songs to Offend Almost Everyone
Description
<p>Songs to Offend Almost Everyone is the new over-the-top show of Sharon McNight. The selection of songs is a throwback to the party records of the 1950s and is designed to offend minorities and majorities of every persuasion. McNight warns, "This show contains adult language and content. Viewer discretion is advised." The unique program will include songs from Tom Lehrer, Randy Newman, Durwood Douche (accent on the e), a banned song by the late Chet Atkins ("Would Jesus Wear a Rolex"), and a tune by the unlikely offensive Stephen Sondheim ("I Never Do Anything Twice").
Chock full of first amendment rabble-rousers, Songs to Offend Almost Everyone is a throwback to party records of the 1950's and is designed to offend people "with good taste" of almost every persuasion. When the show was well received in its San Francisco and Los Angeles premieres, McNight recorded her politically incorrect tunes for Jezebel Music in two CDs. </p>
<p>Songs in the first disc include such songs as Randy Newman's "Political Science", "Would Jesus Wear a Rolex" by the late Chet Atkins, Tom Lehrer's "The Old Dope Peddler" and a sexually provocative number from the composer Stephen Sondheim. The second disc, produced by popular demand, Offensive, Too Volume Two, contains the Gilda Radner classic "Let's Talk Dirty To The Animals", as well as appropriate melodies from Broadway's William Finn, John Kander and Fred Ebb.
The two act show was selected to play Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, N.Y.C., as part of the Lortel's White Barn Summer Season. Of her provocative production, McNight says, "It's not all about forbidden words. We present under-the-table tunes that could rattle a busload of repressed Puritans."</p>
