The Off-Broadway production of Fabulous! ran at the Times Square Arts Center. It was produced by Roy Nevans, John Lant and FABCO Productions in association with Write Act Repertory and Tamra Pica.
"Fabulous!" is an exciting new comic farce. Two female impersonators meet a near-disaster after backing up Sue Flay, the biggest drag diva in Paris. Now jobless and homeless, their salvation arrives in the form of a job offer as fabulous showgirls on a cruise ship, the Queen Ethel May. The catch? They must keep their male identities a secret from everyone: the crew, the passengers, and some very determined male suitors. It's madcap adventure all around in the tradition of Some Like It Hot and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Fabulous! is where vintage musical comedy meets modern farce, a laugh-a-minute and a must-see!
The World Premiere of Fabulous! was an AEA-approved showcase produced Off-Off Broadway at the Richmond Shepard Theater. After a sold-out limited run, we raised money for the Off Broadway production through a series of four backers presentations. The show opened in September 2014 at the Times Square Arts Center and ran for over 100 performances.
