With Spies Like These Who Needs Double 0’s…
Heigh-Ho, My Merry Rainbow Tribe! Bobby Patrick, your RAINBOW Reviewer here. Putting the silent T in cabareT to bring you ALL the Tea!
So, my lovelies, there is this "thing" out there... A show, a spoof, a parody... whatever you want to call it, called SPIES ARE FOREVER. Performed in an original production on that other coast some sixish years ago, this brainchild of Brian Rosenthal, Joey Richter, and Corey Lubowich, with Music & Lyrics by Clark Baxtresser & Pierce Siebers, went on to even more famenacclaim on the interwebs of the YouTubes. Almost the entire original company gathered here, on this coast, to perform the score in concert at our Beloved 54 Below for 4 shows on two nights ( October 25 & 26) Broadway World was there in the personage of yours truly with our little camera to capture the night and bring you one of our PHAB PHOTO PHLASHES. The crowd was THERE for this one, as the cast could not scratch their... ummm ears without eliciting howls and cheers from their fans. We hope that 54 will bring these kids back - maybe to perform the entire piece... hmmmmmm?
ENJOY THE PHOTOS MY DEARLINGS! Cuz the show was 5 Out Of 5 Rainbows for sure!
