Adrift in Macao - musical comedy
18 Oct 2013 to 26 Oct 2013
Set in 1952 in Macao, China, this is a loving parody of the Hollywood film noir movies of the 40s and 50s. Everyone who comes to Macao is waiting for something, and though none of them know what that is, they hang around to find out. The characters include Lureena, the curvaceous blonde, who luckily bumps into Rick Shaw, the cynical surf and turf casino owner her first night in town. She ends up getting a job singing in his night club - perhaps for no reason other than the fact she looks great in a slinky dress. And there's Mitch, the American who has just been framed for murder by the mysterious villain McGuffin. With songs and quips, puns and farcical shenanigans, this musical parody is bound to please audiences of all ages. You will hear many musical numbers and enjoyable songs when you set yourself "Adrift in Macao".
