Overview
This modern musical follows the style of the satirical revues of the 1950’s, with original songs and short-form comedy. It includes a sketch about onomatopoetic names and a song about the terrors of a high school reunion, a sketch about extravagant rock concerts that benefit obscure causes, and a clever little ditty about Ginsu knives! Of course, it also contains the obligatory tap dance number and some intriguing “first drafts” of well-known musicals, including Annie as it might have been, were it written by Stephen Sondheim!
The No-Frills Revue is a musical “Saturday Night Live!”
