Dark Comedy Full House Musical Horribly Wrong In All The Right Ways
ChiIL Live Shows had a chance to check out Superboobs: A Superhero Burlesque Adventure and also Attend The Tale of Danny Tanner: A Full House Musical.
Their Burlesque is playful, grrrl powered fun for couples or a night out. All body types are represented, not just sleek, airbrushed Barbie types. Most of all, the actors look like they're having a great time, thoroughly enjoying their campy parodies. Seeing a Gorilla Tango Burlesque show is kinda like spying on a girly slumber party or 21+ kids playing R rated charades with a costume bin.
There's even a lobby bar! Gorilla Tango is not just hooters.....their shows are a hoot....clever, smart, sexy spoofs. Come check 'em out. Highly recommended adult fun.
We're super stoked Attend The Tale of Danny Tanner: A Full House Musical has been extended yet again!! Check the below for show dates and times. This show was horribly wrong in ALL the right ways. I haven't laughed this hard in ages. The audience was on the floor laughing from the time the opening number echoed forth.
The actors' parodies were so funny I can't believe the cast actually made it through the whole show without cracking, though I saw a few tell tale facial twitches. Attend the tale....before it's too late. If you drove, you might want to forgo the lobby bar on this one...lest someone in the audience gets any ideas! There's always the blue line el--Western stop a short walk away. However you get there, go already. Check out more details about Attend The Tale of Danny Tanner here.
Completely sold out since it hit the ground running in May, ATTEND THE TALE OF DANNY TANNER: A FULL HOUSE MUSICAL has been extended yet again! It will perform TUESDAYS at 7:30pm, August 14 & 21, and September 4-25,2012. Tickets are $15; on line HERE or 773-598-4549 for tickets and more info.
