Captain Smartypants goes 'native' when a luxury airliner nosedives into the Pacific, the shipwrecked Air Smarty crew takes to the airwaves. It's a taste of homo-comedy at its talented and flagitious best. 'Mayday' turns to musical mayhem as their increasingly creative distress signals attract all sorts of characters.

Captain Smartypants goes ?native? when a luxury airliner nosedives into the Pacific, the shipwrecked Air Smarty crew takes to the airwaves. It?s a unique taste of homo-comedy at its talented and flagitious best. ?Mayday? turns to musical mayhem as their increasingly creative distress signals attract all sorts of characters. Part Tempest, part Gilligan?s Island, part Lost, part American Idol, this show demonstrates just how creative, and desperate, a group of nine survivors can get. Air Smarty features songs by Annie Lennox, a tribute to gay and straight composers, and a medley of songs shown to drive people clinically insane. Peppered with commercials for new and cryptic products, the evening is all done up by a parade of undaunted, unbalanced, and unearthly characters who will definitely keep you laughing.

Nine years after its Broadway premiere at Lincoln Centre's Vivian Beaumont theatre, the Jason Robert Brown/Alfred Uhry musical Parade finally made its way to the London stage on September 24 when it opened at the Donmar Warehouse. It has been eagerly anticipated by musical theatre afficionados in the UK and Rob Ashford's production, with a slightly revised and improved score, does not disappoint.
