Pants! The Jimmy Pants Musical is a zany, loving satire of bio-jukebox musicals. It's both a comical nod to the current epidemic of jukebox shows and an homage to the entertainment value and joy that they bring to audiences. Clever choreography and lively original songs spanning the 60s to the 2000s add to the hilarity. It's Spinal Tap meets The Drowsy Chaperone, with a rocking musical score!
