The Athens University basketball team hasn't won a game in 30 years. But when spunky transfer student Lysistrata Jones (Patti Murrin) dares the squad's fed-up girlfriends to stop ‘giving it up' to their boyfriends until they win a game, their legendary losing streak could be coming to an end. In this boisterous new musical comedy, Lyssie J. and her girl-power posse give Aristophanes' classic comedy a sexy, modern twist and take student activism to a whole new level.

The New York Times praises Lysistrata Jones as "An effervescent, tasty and surprisingly filling new musical with high-octane performances." New York Magazine calls it "A good old-fashioned tease of a musical comedy - a naughty, bubbly, modern goof on Aristophanes." According to the New York Post Lysistrata Jones is "A terrific splash of fun with an infectious score!" and AP finds it "Hilarious and bouncy with strong tunes and smart, witty lyrics." While The Hollywood Reporter/Reuters raves that "There's an obscene amount of fun being had in Lysistrata Jones, a sassy new quasi-teen musical!"

Tickets for Lysistrata Jones range from $25 to $130, and can be purchased on Telecharge.com, by calling (800) 432-7250 or visiting the Walter Kerr Box office (219 W 48th Street).
