Audiences now have a chance to see why the new, comedic musical, LIFE IN BOOBS, got a standing ovation from its first workshop this past October. With Books & Lyrics by Casey Christensen (The Donkey Show) and composed by celebrity vocal coach Rachael Lawrence (Grey's Anatomy, Glee), LIFE IN BOOBS highlights true trials and tribulations of boobs everywhere, with original songs, comedic vignettes and dramatic monologues. This extended workshop will be on Sunday, December 16th at 8:30pm at Pico Playhouse Theater in Los Angeles.
"After the success of the first workshop, we knew we had to keep going," said Christensen. "This is a show for everyone from 21 to 120 years old and each person will drive home singing their own anthem. Women from all walks of life will relate to these true stories and we look forward to bringing more attention to this important project."
The idea for LIFE IN BOOBS came from actress Jennifer Goodman who realized there wasn't any notable shows that focused on the lifelong journey your chest takes. A chance meeting brought Goodman and Christensen together after Goodman was in the audience of Christensen's show Hot Pants, Cold Feet at the Comedy Central Stage. Goodman approached Christensen with the idea but admitted that she wasn't a writer. The musical has now been ten years in the making and recently pushed to the forefront after Christensen was diagnosed with Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss. Determined to accomplish all of her dreams before full loss of hearing, Christensen locked down Rachael Lawrence to be the all-star composer and went on her way to book the cast.
The dynamic story deals with the journeys many women face from training bras, to dating, to pumping at work, and facing breast cancer. The energetic songs incorporate humorous pieces like "Life in Boobs," "Wife Beater Tank Top," and "Suck It, Cancer" to the inspirational "I'm Diane" which features real-life breast cancer survivor Lani Shipman (Co-Founder of Y.A.D.A.). Additional ensemble members include: Sherry Cola, (I Love Dick, TNT's Claws), Sarah Lowe (Jersey Boys, The Apple Sisters on Conan), Lauren Rubin (Criminal Minds, The Donkey Show), Adrienne Visnic (Ten Days in the Valley), Sara Montgomery, Kyla Page Williams along with Christensen and Goodman.
Life in Boobs will be on Sunday, December 16th at Pico Playhouse Theater located at 10508 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90064. The show will begin promptly at 8:30pm. Mature audiences only. Tickets are $35 and are selling out. For tickets: https://lifeinboobsworkshop.brownpapertickets.com/
