Based on the cult hit film of the same name, a group of unemployed steel workers from Buffalo come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash. In preparing, they find themselves extremely exposed… not merely physically but also emotionally. As warm as it is funny, this musical by David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit, Tootstie) and Terrence McNally (Ragtime, Kiss of the Spider Woman) will be a feel-good treat for the holidays.

“…a rock-solid charmer — and it’s a good christening for the new 85-seat Evanston
home of Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre”

Larry Bommer, Stage and Cinema

“This musical is just what we need nowadays… a funny, often touching story that’s as relevant as today’s headlines… a toe-tapping musical score that’s guaranteed to send folks out of the theatre humming and smiling ear-to-ear. This excellent theatre company, now in its new, expanded Evanston home, keeps outdoing itself.”

Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review

“The large cast is full of strong voices and equally strong personalities. As always, music director and keyboardist Jeremy Ramey is on top of things. And choreographer Sawyer Smith and his actors
capture the ‘can’t dance’ moves ideally.”
