The Beulaville Baptist Book Club Presents: A Bur-less-Q Nutcracker!
December 22, 2007
, 2007
By Mark-Brian Sonna and music by Tchaikovsky. World Premiere. Are you tired of the typical Holiday shows? The women of the Beulaville Baptist Book Club are in dire straits financially, and as a last ditch attempt to save their book club they decide to do a fundraiser and hire the Beaumont Ballet to perform Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker.
Madge's Pina Colada Casserole unfortunately sickens the entire cast with food poisoning and they are unable to perform. Luckily, there is another dance troupe in town. It seems the Velvet Kittens Burlesque Dancers are stuck in Beulaville because their van broke down on their way to New Orleans. Madge has never heard of Burlesque, or as she pronounces it "Bur-less-Q", and in an act of necessity hires the dance troupe to do The Nutcracker. The end result? The most original, unusual, and comical Nutcracker you have ever seen!
In the Stone Cottage Theatre. Purchase tickets online or by calling 214-477-4942.

James Scott, says:
...saw this show last Saturday. Definitely 'different' than the usual holiday entertainment. Show had lots of laughs, as well as surprisingly good choreography. We were very well entertained and pleased with the evening. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a fun alternative to the usual holiday stuff.

Not to taunt those for whom it's too late, we caught this show last night -- A definite must-see. It's as though Christopher Guest put on A Tuna Christmas and threw in some ballet. Sidesplittingly funny, and as James said, the dancing was good AND funny. Hard to pull off.
I'm now a die-hard Mark-Brian Sonna fan. (I was familiar with his reviews that he writes as one of our content partners, but had not seen a show.)
