'50 Shades! The Musical' at the Kirk Douglas Through March 30

CULVER CITY, Calif.—Fans of the BDSM-themed Fifty Shades of Grey can now experience a staged parody of the popular and controversial book. 50 Shades! The Musical - The Original Parody is now open at the Kirk Douglas Theater in Culver City, California, having just arrived in the City of Angels after successful runs in Chicago, New York, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and lots of other stops. Running through March 30, it's billed as "a laugh-out-loud night of fun." And it's also something to soothe the cravings of Fifty Shades fans who can't wait until the movie adaptation of the book comes out in 2015. In a release issued to promote the Culver City production, the producers explain, "50 Shades! The Musical opens with a ladies book club deciding to read Fifty Shades of Grey. Through their interpretation of the novel, the audience is led on a hilarious roller coaster ride of this unlikely bestseller. The show is full of dance numbers, 11 original songs and a live band backing the performance. Original songs include They Get Nasty, I Don’t Make Love and There’s a Hole Inside of Me." In a recent review, The Hollywood Reporter Myron Meisel described the current production as "neither more nor less than sustained silliness," but concluded, "It’s already a hit, a triumph of savvy tomfoolery hitched to a branding juggernaut. If it shamelessly recycles a lot of its own jokes over even such a brief length, it also never stops pile-driving its amiably potty-mouth naughtiness to mechanically funny yet satisfying effect. A few left at intermission, while those who remained shed tears from laughter." Produced by Marshall Cordell, Al Samuels and Emily Dorezas, and directed by Albert Samuels, the cast includes Eileen Patterson, Jack Boice, Glennis McCarthy, Tiffany Dissette, Sheila O’Connor, Nick Semar, BJ Gruber, Datus Puryear and Caroline Reader.
