For women in the audience (and both women and men came out in droves this past weekend for the opening of Potty Talk at the Darkhorse; making reservations for this week's upcoming performances is a very good idea), I suspect that the shared camaraderie of the ladies' room is a given. For men in the seats, however, it's a new experience, given our penchant for staring straight ahead and saying nothing (unless, of course, you have the 'wide stance' of a right-wing senator and his ilk). Regardless of your gender, you'll find a lot to laugh about and think about in Crist's play.

Joey Nova Presents brings you SEXTACULAR! SEXTACULAR!, a re-imagining of the cabaret shows from turn-of-the-century France, but with a modern New York City rock n roll edge. Charmingly egocentric host Joey Nova (Cutie Patooties, Precious) is joined by co-host Erika Smith (Dracula, Screen Sirens) as his absinthe-conjured sidekick, 'The Green Fairy', as they try to petition the government for a new holiday celebrating SEX! When prudish-but-provocative government liaison Prudence Rottoncrotch (played by Miss Pin Up Coney Island 2008, Kristen Lee from Cherry Pop!) is sent in to hear their proposal, Joey and The Green Fairy argue their case by seducing her with twenty titillating acts by some of the hottest performers in theatre, burlesque, and cabaret. Featuring dazzling light & fire shows, astounding aerial acts, dynamic acrobatics, tantalizing burlesque performances, glam rock cabaret, punk rock cancan girls and rocket-fueled glam rock band Starbolt 9 as the Sextacular! Sextacular! house band.
