Photo Flash: FOOD FIGHT: A MUSICAL COMEDY FOR WAIST WATCHERS! Comes To St. Louis

In the wild spirit of Menopause the Musical®, 24 catchy, popular tunes with parodied lyrics make FOOD FIGHT! instantly enjoyable for men and women alike, and will have audience members singing "If I were a size two..." instead of Fiddler on the Roof's "If I were a rich man..." all the way home, and even at work the next day!

Set in Miss Cook's Women's Gym, FOOD FIGHT! takes audiences through the familiar ups and downs of survival in a weight- and beauty-obsessed world. Led by Carla Cook as an energetic personal trainer at the gym, Cheryl, Connie and Cindy try to get in shape, and all four of their stories and personal struggles with food are played out through madcap humor and infectious melodies. 

FOOD FIGHT! made its world debut in 2007 in Palm Beach, Fla., and launched a national tour In February 2009 from Atlanta, Ga., on its way to St. Louis, Denver, Ft. Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Green Bay, and to numerous other cities across the country. Reviews of show have been outstanding. Critics are wild about its cleverness, talented cast and superb presentation. The Palm Beach Post raves, "Audiences are EATING IT UP!"
