TAMARIE'S TOTALLY TRUE REVUE (PLUS LIES TOO!) Premieres June 23rd at The MATCH!

It's officially summer which means it's Tamarie Time! The Tamarie Cooper Show has, for years, been a cult hit and can't-miss Houston summer tradition.

Tamarie and her cast of musical comedy maniacs are back for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth in the 26th installment of her hit original musical series juggernaut! In a time when truth is often stranger than fiction, Tamarie's chock full of veracity, spouting truths about her show, society, basically the whole stinking world. And also her flossing habits. 

Tamarie and her mostly fearless, occasionally fearsome crew will snark, sing, and dance their way through twisted encounters with Tinker Bell, Pinocchio, Ben Franklin, Kenny Rogers, and Tamarie's psychic high school attendance clerk, Mrs. Jones, who could catch you in any lie (and find stuff you lost too). Tamarie's got some personal stuff to tell you too. Some real, some fake. Depends on where you get your news. 

If you've seen a Tamarie Cooper Show you're unlikely ever to have missed another one and, if you haven't, The Totally True Revue is the perfect opportunity to hop on board. Truth.

This all-original musical, co-written by Tamarie's longtime collaborator, Patrick Reynolds, features crowd-favorite co-star Kyle Sturdivant and a company of TCS veterans and newcomers, plus a killer band. And sooo many costume changes!

Conceived, directed, and choreographed by Tamarie Cooper. Book by Patrick Reynolds. Additional writing by Tamarie Cooper and Joe Folladori. Music composed by Miriam Daly, Joe Folladori, Erin Rodgers, and Alli Villines. Lyrics by Tamarie Cooper, Joe Folladori, Erin Rodgers, and Patrick Reynolds. Music direction: Alli Villines. Band: Joe Folladori, Brett Needham, Erin Rodgers, Kirk Suddreath.

Set Design by Ryan McGettigan, Lighting design by Hudson Davis, Sound design by Shawn St. John, Costume design by Tamarie Cooper, Pam Pelligrino, and  Juan Sacaray, Properties design by Lauren Davis, Video design by Tim Thomson

Interview: Michelle Elaine of POTUS: OR, BEHIND EVERY GREAT DUMBASS ARE SEVEN WOMEN TRYING TO KEEP HIM ALIVE at STAGES

When I first moved to Houston in early 2021, theatre's across Houston began the slow process of reopening. One of the first productions featured an actress that I sorely wish I knew her incredible body of work before the pandemic. That actress, Michelle Elaine. Not only is she an exceptional actress but also one of the most amazing individuals in the Houston arts scene. When I found out she was cast in one of my favorite farces, short titled, POTUS, I was ecstatic and decided to interview this outstanding actress.
