Photo Flash: 'Chuckleball: Jailhouse Jocks' Sports Revue
By: BWW Oct. 29, 2007
Chuckleball, the sports musical revue brings its newest version, Jailhouse Jocks, to the Snapple Theater Center; performances began October 24.
Initially inspired by Forbidden Broadway and The Capitol Steps, producer Jason Goldstein experimented with a parody musical revue targeted to sports fans that played quietly in New York City for five weeks in the summer of 2004. The show then spawned two other versions: Performance Enhancers (2005), and last season's, There's Always Room For Balco (2006). These productions have played theaters, colleges, and corporate convention dates around the country.
The fast-paced revue is a unique theatrical event consisting of musical numbers that lampoon the headlines and the sidelines. Four actors impersonate dozens of top athletes, has-beens, and soccer moms in about thirty musical numbers.
The cast includes Katey Daniel, Noah DeBiase, Mike Mitchell Jr. and Justin Senense. It is written and directed by Jason Goldstein and Ian Nemser.
Chuckleball: Jailhouse Jocks plays Mondays at 8PM, Fridays at 8PM, Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 7PM. Tickets priced at $45 are on sale through the end of the year and are available at Ticketmaster.com or by calling (212) 307- 4100. The Snapple Theater Center is located at 1627 Broadway at 50th Street. For more information, visit www.chuckleball.com
