GOD SAVE QUEEN PAM Comes To The Players Theater

Harken back to a time before we were all filled with existential dread, and see a new musical comedy that is all about fun, silliness, and laughter. Remember laughter? It's like a backwards hiccup.

In 'God Save Queen Pam', the entire royal house of Edevane has died out, and the only living heir is an American bartender from New Jersey. With the help of her devoted staff, Pam Duffy has to figure out her new God-ordained career before the snobby jerks of court unseat her and ruin everything. Hilarity ensues, and nothing else. No, really- we promise: no moments of sad reflection, no ironic nods to the woes of the day, and your cellphone will be off, so no NYT notifications about who tweeted what this time.

"I can't remember the last time I saw a musical which just made me feel so happy," reports one audience member to Show Score. "An absolute delight!" says another. And it's not just audiences who are loving this quaint memento from the before-times called 'bliss'. West End legend Paul Boyd says "Erin Murray Quinlan's clever new offering God Save Queen Pam is that rare thing - a new musical that works on all levels; with a jaunty and celebratory score, razor- sharp lyrics, and a plot that perfectly balances comedic license with a proud authenticity," and TheaterScene.com lauds its "frothy escapism"!

Playwright/Composer/Lyricist Erin Murray Quinlan, described by one audience member as "the next Lin Manuel Maranda minus the rap", is the newest musical theater darling to come out of the prestigious BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theater Workshop, which has fostered hit shows such as Avenue Q andNext to Normal. Her work- which has been produced in NYC, LA, and London- is known for her clever, quirky lyrics and catchy tunes, which she more than delivers in 'Queen Pam'.

If screwball isn't for you, there is no dearth of shows about suicide liars, AIDS epidemics, and 9/11 to keep you going. But for those of you who just need a freaking break already, 'God Save Queen Pam' is here for you.

God Save Queen Pam is running Off-Broadway at the Players Theater from June 21st-July 29th. Performances are at 7pm on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and 3pm on Sundays. More information can be found at www.godsavequeenpam.com
