I don't know what it is about trashy people that fascinates us gay boys. But they do. That's why this Boston premiere musical deserves your attention.
If you are interested in agoraphobia, adultery, spray cheese, road kill, hysterical pregnancy, kleptomania, flan and disco, then this rockabilly musical is worth a trip down the pike to the Boston Center for the Arts.

When Pippi, a stripper on the run, comes between Dr. Phil-loving, agoraphobic Jeannie and her toll-collector husband, neighbors Betty, Lin and Pickles team up to save their friend's marriage.
Great casting, with Boston legend Leigh Barrett, plus Mary Callanan, Kerry A. Dowling and David Benoit starring. For more information, visit www.SpeakEasyStage.com.
