Based on true stories, Jeffrey Milstein is "lampoons to the tunes of Brooks, Reiner, and Simon" in telling the story of a low-level prison in the famed military installation ... and then sets the whole things to music!
The dark social commentary is played like a Marx Brothers movie complete with sight-gags and prat falls. And just like any old movie musical - Marx Brothers notwithstanding - it has a cast of cut-ups: Sean Farrelly & Joe Sherbin; with Marek Ardito-Proulx, Pauline Breeze, Dana Cavagnaro, Carlos Cervantes, Mario Claudio, Sunflower Duran, Annabel Espinal, Donna Glaesener, Dominick Gonzalez, Andrew Gordon, Jason Lee, Federica Morra, Richard Sacher, Lindsy Thomas, and Laura Young.
