Lulu is Fabulous

I saw Lulu Fabulous this evening at Playbill Cafe, and I laughed my ass off. The show is being presented by Phoenix Theatre, and was written by Callie Kimball, aka Lucky Spinster, whom you all know I adore. If you want a fun evening in the theatre, a lot of laughter and a little bit of heartbreak, go see this show. It runs through May 28. At $15 a seat, you would be hard pressed to find a better theatre going bargain.

For you gents who may be nervous about sitting through an estrogen fest, fear not. Although the play does touch on the title character's relations with the male of the species, this is just one aspect of the character's journey to find some meaning in her life. Along the way she also deals with issues with her mother, finding a place to call home, and the death of a loved one.

I was touched by the play, and I very much admire Ms. Kimball's willinngness to put it all out there like that. She's got a pair of brass ones.
