a saucy musical review.

Welcome to the show, where a shady promoter hopes to dupe
three unsuspecting New Yorkers with the tale of Jacques Offenbach’s
surprise visit to New York City! An evening of song, dance,
and theatrics ensues through Offenbach’s titillating music.
To convince his victims of the composer’s impending journey,
the promoter reads letters from Offenbach’s original late
19th Century tour of New York. He entices them further with
selections from Offenbach’s greatest operas.
Enjoy a glass of wine, while the drama and music unfold
around you for a surprising evening of high jinks and parody. |
