Double D'Amour

In one week, Austin is blessed with two theatrical projects by gifted playwright Lisa D'Amour: her 16 Spells to Charm the Beast, a curious romance between a big-city enchantress and the fairy-tale beast who adores her; and Nita and Zita, a cabaret in which the ghosts of two sisters relate the story of their lives as a vaudeville team and as eccentric "gypsy ladies" in New Orleans in dance numbers, songs, and malapropisms.

"...The other project is Nita and Zita, a cabaret about the late Flora and Piroska Gellert, two Romanian..."

Le Petomane: Anatomy of a Fartiste

It might be hard to imagine that a story about a man who breaks wind for fame and fortune could be called "sweet," but Tongue and Groove Theatre's original musical Le Petomane: Anatomy of a Fartiste, about the extraordinary French vaudevillian Joseph Pujol, combines good humor, fun song, bawdy dance, and just enough ribaldry to make for an engaging theatrical show.

Moulin Rouge

This musical sucks you in with its own brand of willful illogic and breathtaking visuals. Set in turn-of-the-century Paris, a penniless poet falls madly in love with a nightclub's star performer, a chanteuse-cum-courtesan who has a heart of gold and is an incipient consumptive. The music is a combination of restructured modern pop tunes manhandled into clever new forms.

"...outlandish denizens of the famed Moulin Rouge nightclub and cabaret. Here he meets the group's unofficial leader, little big..."

The Fantasticks

Deep in your heart, you should "follow." Released just a few years ago, this film version of the Off Broadway workhorse captures the feeling of the innocent and bygone era of movie musicals. But it differs from the original work's romantic minimalism as it opens up the play cinematically.
