With a book by Scott Wentworth and music & lyrics by Craig Bohmler and Marion Adler, this hard-boiled detective tale disguised as a lounge act is set to open this weekend at Key City Public Theatre in Port Townsend, WA. KCPT is one of the only Small Professional Theaters in Jefferson County and this noir musical will wrap up it's 2023-24 season with new shows next year to be announced following the run.
Direct from the Red Eye Lounge, Buddy Toupee tickles the ivories in a double-dealing world of rain-slicked streets and demolished dreams. This jazzy hit musical features Jefferson County's acclaimed songstress, Christa Holbrook, as a femme fatale. Relax and unwind with cozy cocktails of your choosing and enjoy a sultry night in the theatre with beautiful singing by Geoffrey Simmons (Gregory-Award nominee) and exquisite playing on the piano by Mark Rabe for this intimate three-hander.
The show runs April 4 - April 28 with performances Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30pm, and Sundays at 1:30pm. The performance run time is two hours with one 15-minute intermission, and is recommended for ages 13 and up.
