Hit: 4 Stars
i was delightfully shanghied to Macao and set adrift amongst a crazy cast of old and new characters belting broadway melodies across the sea. an only english speaking chanteuse serenading a nightclub of only chinese speaking patrons with a song, in english, that she does not know the words for is an idea made in musical comedy heaven. so goes a joyful romp as the self-exiles attempt to hide their pasts in a pastiche of song types and character revelations. i have only heard the score but it is so good that i cannot wait to see an actual production of this show. very fun, very singable, you'll be humming
Adrift in Macao Poster
A zany film noir parody hearkening back to the days when leading men were hard-boiled, dames were beautiful but dangerous, and musicals were filled with tunes so playfully catchy you couldn't dislodge them from your brain if your life depended on it.Book and lyrics by one of America's funniest playwrights, Christopher Durang (in a very, very good mood).
An original and lethally catchy score signals the arrival of gifted new musical theater composer Peter Melnick.
"The Maltese falcon mates with the loon in Adrift In Macao ... Christopher Durang's broad spoof of film noir, with a score by Peter Melnick that mambos from Kurt Weill to Carmen Miranda, is set in 1952 in the Chinese port of Macao--a sinister locale peopled by diamond smugglers, shady nightclub owners, dope aficionados, femmes fatales, and a walking, winking Asian clich? named Tempura, because he's been `battered by life.'" -- Boston Phoenix
"With a drop-dead funny book and shamefully silly lyrics by Christopher Durang and lethally catchy music by Peter Melnick, Adrift In Macao lovingly parodies the Hollywood film noir classics of the 1940s and '50s." -- BroadwayWorld.com
"[The] music hops effectively among genres, evoking period music from Kurt Weill to big bands." -- New York Times
