Red Light – The Bad Girls of Broadway and Beyond
Directed by Wade Hair
Choreographed by Lori Babson Jessup
Break Through Theater, Winter Park FL</strong>
Naughty, naughty, naughty! Wade Hair returns his Venue-winner Fringe show of yore to his Winter Park stage with more songs, more sex toys and more singers. The songs are ruder, the sex more explicit, but being Central Florida we are protected from any real nudity by county approved pasties. There’s a collection of Big Show Tune hot numbers: (Big Spender, Black Boys/ White Boys, Toucha- Toucha- Touch Me) some Top 40 pop tunes with no redeeming theatrical value: (Hot Stuff, I Kissed a Girl, Lady Marmalade) and best of all some ultra-rude parodies of clean cut Disney tunes. These included “A Whole Nude World” (Johnathan Raffoul and Yesi Jasmine) feature a rather impressive strap on and simulated doggie sex, “Let it Go” from “Frozen” with Mellissa Habegger as she thaws her nether regions, and another “Frozen” number “My Legs Are An Open Door” by Marissa Quijano. Sex sells, but no sex sells like unauthorized Disney Sex.
The program brings a drag element to the stage; Cody Donaldson is VERY convincing as Dr. Frankenfurter in “Sweet Transvestite” and while Marc Anthony Garcia never took any vocal leads, he has an early Mick Jagger look that kept everyone on their sexual toes. This show invoked a good deal of role play as well; Mr. Raffoul was tied up and ball gagged and I do believe that was Breakthrough’s first actual bondage scene. There were some exceptional impressive sex toys, and most of those came out of their boxes for those Disney numbers. If you missed this at Fringe this is an even better opportunity to see something sexy in Winter Park; just don’t bring your church glasses as they may fog up.
