Spider Saloff is a major talent, singing, acting and writing - a triple threat. The characters she created seemed like real people, not caricatures - and the songs were beautiful and truly moving. Not to be missed!!Written on Aug 18 2011

Description
The Roar of the Butterfly is a one-woman play with original music starring Spider Saloff. The book, music and lyrics are also by Spider Saloff. Based on a true story, this musical comedy is a tour de force with characters everyone will fall in love with. In the tradition of Lily Tomlin and Tracey Ullman, transsexual Saloff portrays eight different characters in this hysterical and moving new show. The roles include a sharp-tongued Scottish waitress, a faded stage star, a hair dresser from South Philly and even a bearded poet. The scene of the show revolves around a memorial service for Butterfly, an Asian drag queen who has been a colorful and inspirational character in the lives of the attendees—an unlikely and diverse group, all of whom are portrayed by Spider.
The Roar of the Butterfly is a comedy with a message and contains poignant moments touching on subjects of diversity, human loss and dysfunctional relationships. Essentially, The Roar of the Butterfly is about how one unusual person’s life affects so many others. The Roar of the Butterfly will prove to be an unforgettable and toe-tapping good time.
This show is not suggested for children under 13 years old without an adult.
