The men, with no real leadership and very little experience, work through their difficulties and get their show together so that they can take care of their wives, whose own lives are centered on keeping their relationships fed. They’ll outdo the male strippers of a touring Chippendales group. Six men who’ve been out of work for a long time come together to devise a plan for quick money-making in order to save their lives and save their souls while they’re at it. The people you leave behind on the stage may have to handle all of that but all you have to do is enjoy their trials and tribulations from your comfy seat. You will leave the theater feeling good, feeling grateful that you aren’t out of work or dealing with a messy divorce and difficult child support.
You won’t come out humming the ballad, crooning the love song, or imitating the intricate dance steps. The production now on stage at the Mac-Haydn Theatre in Chatham, It lives on its own without these things.
It doesn’t have hit songs or a TV comic lead or a major star from the movies or even the theater to carry it. Book by Terrence McNally, music and lyrics by David YazbekĬhoreographed by Elizabeth McGuire, directed by Todd UnderwoodĮvery once in a while, a show comes along that lives on its own individual merits, its special concept and nothing else.
