All For One! The Three Mooskateers
It's actually "The Three Musketeers," but Mooskateers is more fun to say (obviously). Characters in the show enjoy this pronunciation along with "poopcorn" and "Diet Poopsie."
Getting down the business, I'm talking about the new show at The Gaslight Melodrama. It's a zany, melodrama-style telling of Alexandre Dumas' classic story about those defenders of the crown, the muska-you-know-who's. Once again, the Gaslight has created a light, family-friendly show that is fun and full of laughs. Carla Stanley is at the controls this go-around and she directs the cast through an an hour and a half of comic mishchief. As always, there is a vaudeville review after the regular show, this time with a musical Titanic sinking and a Gilligan's Island teaser.
Alexandre Dumas has always taken himself too seriously (especially for a dead guy), so it is nice to finally see his creation properly lampoooned. As a connesuir of sillyness I would have loved to see some more twists in the story, but this did a nice job in its own way.
We've got some pictures for you in the photo gallery, and an interview with director Carla Stanley today in the podcast. I'll catch up with the cast again in the next few weeks for a full interview with them, so stay tuned for that and go enjoy this show for yourself in June!
