UNDERWEAR: A SPACE MUSICAL

BY HANNAH PERRI

Underwear. And space. In a musical. Together?

Not too far off in the future, the worlds of underwear modeling and space collide, creating witty jokes and catchy songs. Underwear: A Space Musical is a story about Dottie Smallton, a girl from Ohio (the planet), who ditches her old-fashioned home planet for Patricia’s Panties, the ultimate planet for underwear modeling. Dottie learns that on this planet, food is in pill form and models are forbidden by law to learn to read.

Dottie meets and falls for Andi, the underwear model, and teaches him to read even though it's a crime. Dottie and Andi discover that their manipulative boss, Patricia, plans to take over the world with mind-controlling underwear. Can they stop her in time? The play becomes a battle of good against evil as Dottie tries to save the world from Patricia’s schemes.

Underwear is a show for anyone who loves musicals. You will fall out of your seat laughing at all of the witty banter, great comedic timing and hilarious lyrics. The characters are also very loveable. Dottie has a warm naivety that contrasts nicely to the harsh modeling world, while Andi has an innocent simplicity to him. They mesh well together and have strong chemistry.

Underwear is a joy to watch. It will put a smile on your face and you will leave the theatre humming the musical numbers. I highly recommend checking out this show.
