The Burlesque Nutcracker is back!!!
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
The MBS Production of The Beulaville Baptist Book Club Presents: A Bur-less-Q Nutcracker opens this Friday and runs thru December 27 at the Stone Cottage Theatre (15650 Addison Road, Addison, TX 75001).
This play broke all attendance & box office records & garnered a Column Award nomination for "Best New Play of the Year, 2008".
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 Piña Colada Casserole unfortunately sickens the entire cast with food poisoning and they are unable to perform. Luckily, there is another dance troop 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 result? The most original, unusual, and comical Nutcracker you've ever seen!
This year's added twist: The book club women, also fall ill to Madge's culinary disasters, so their husbands & boyfriends take over…in drag!
Be sure to buy your tickets early! Last year they sold out quite a few shows and were turning people away at the door! And yes! They do open the weekend of Thanksgiving…so escape the relatives and have a good laugh!
Tickets are available at the MBS Productions website or by calling 214-477-4942.
