The legendary San Francisco musical that marries Broadway’s greatest melodies with the lyrics of matchless parodist Tom Orr for a rollicking look at gay life, love, and lust. This six-man sweet, smart, sassy, sexy, and satirical revue has been called “perhaps the gayest show ever”. Thrill to “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Homosexual”, “Bossy Bottoms”, “The Big Gay Marriage Medley, “Gay, Gray & Glorious” and “Show Queens” plus parodies from Wicked, The Producers, Grey Gardens and more! Witty adult humor and thought-provoking commentary in a playful-not-preachy show tune soup. Dirty Little Showtunes! is a madcap musical romp!!

ABOUT THE SHOW: DIRTY LITTLE SHOWTUNES! is a parody musical revue that marries Broadway’s greatest melodies with the lyrics of matchless lyricist Tom Orr for a rollicking look at gay life, love, and lust. This six-man sweet, smart, sassy, sexy, and satirical revue has been called “perhaps the gayest show ever”. Thrill to “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Homosexual”, “Bossy Bottoms”, “The Big Gay Marriage Medley, “Gay, Gray & Glorious” and “Show Queens” plus parodies from Wicked, The Producers, Grey Gardens and more! Witty adult humor and thought-provoking commentary in a playful-not-preachy show tune soup. The show has been very successfully produced in San Francisco, Seattle, Houston, Chicago, and other cities. Our production is the Southern California premiere. “... extravagantly clever”- SF Weekly “It's a fun, fun show that's delightfully entertaining.”– Seattle Gay News.
