WHAT:

Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens

In the seedy cabaret club Saucy Jack’s (Tony Lemus), on the planet Frottage III, all is not well. Danger lurks in every corner as the cabaret acts are being picked off one by one by the relentless slingback killer, plunging a murderous heel deep into the victim’s chest! Against the backdrop of gloom and fear, down-trodden waitress Booby Shevalle (Peelee Clark), talented Sammy Sax (Jake Null, two time Helen Hayes winner for Musical Direction), barman Mitch Maypole (Jeffrey Hollands), bar-fly Dr von Whackoff (Jonathan Barger) and pan-galactic Chesty Prospects (Lorna Ryan) share their dreams and reveal secrets as the evil shadow of the Slingback Killer draws ever near. All is not lost as the glorious Space Vixens (Adriana DeLorenzo, EJ Jonas and Katie Carbone) arrive, interstellar, super-fashion crime fighters here to save the day by the Power of Disco, with glowing Glitterboots and disco beams. Love interests develop, closets are opened and lives are saved before everything builds to an extraordinary musical climax.

Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens has a Book by Charlotte Mann; Lyrics by Charlotte Mann and Michael Fidler; Music by Jonathan Croose and Robin Forrest. It is based on original ideas by Johanna Allitt, Simon Curtis, Michael Fidler and Charlotte Mann.
