TOMFOOLERY at COASTAL REPERTORY THEATRE

Four actors, stools, a piano and a healthy dose of attitude are all you need to enter the witty, wicked, offbeat and thoroughly twisted world of famed satirical songwriter Tom Lehrer.

In concerts, television appearances and a series of now-classic recordings, the Harvard-educated math professor delighted millions of fans during the 1950's and 60's with his dry, cynical but good-humored attacks on the A-bomb, racism, pollution, p*rnography, the military, the boy scouts and, of course, mathematics.

Nothing is sacred in this hysterical revue featuring such Lehrer favorites as ?Poisoning Pigeons In The Park,? ?When You Are Old And Grey,? ?The Masochism Tango,? ?The Old Dope Peddler,? ?The Vatican Rag? and an unforgettable Gilbert and Sullivan-esque recitation of the table of elements, linked together with his own inimitable concert patter.

Rediscover the man and songs that have delighted and skewered the world for over forty years in TOMFOOLERY!
