Cinnabar Theater Presents TOMFOOLERY, 12/31-1/22
By: Kelsey Denette
Cinnabar Theater pays tribute to Tom Lehrer in "Tomfoolery," a cabaret style, musical revue featuring the witty, wicked, offbeat and thoroughly twisted world of the famed satirical songwriter who delighted millions of fans during the 1950’s and 60’s with his cynical but good-humored attacks on everything from the A-bomb to pollution.
Nothing is sacred in this fun musical tribute featuring Lehrer classics including “Poisoning Pigeons In The Park,” “The Masochism Tango,” “The Vatican Rag” and an unforgettable Gilbert and Sullivan-esque recitation of the table of elements, linked together with Lehrer’s own inimitable concert patter.
Directed by Michael Fontaine / Musical Direction by Stuart Rabinowitsch.
