TOMFOOLERY
The words and music of
Tom Lehrer

Adapted by Cameron Mackintosh and Robin Ray
Musical Arrangements by Chris Walker and Robert Fisher

Directed by Adriana Hardy
Produced by Susan d. Garvey

Tomfoolery is a musical revue from the incredibly twisted world of once-famous American satirist Tom Lehrer. Long before Avenue Q made us laugh uneasily about racism, and before the Book of Mormon creators were even born, there was Tom Lehrer… wasting the evenings of people around the world…

Notable songs offend the Vatican, The Audubon Society, The Boy Scouts, Southerners, small towns, environmentalists, chemists, Harvard, folk-singers, the people of Mexico, women, veterans, The United Nations, those with transmittable diseases, most ethnic groups, most religions, the elderly, the Irish, pornographers, math teachers, Oedipus, masochists, drug dealers, gun enthusiasts, the rich, and the poor. It’s really quite impressive to fit it all in.

Featuring: Musical Director Tom Fuller, Becca Harney, Matthew Scarborough, Caroline Simpson, Matthew “Moose” Thompson and Matt Williams. (Who would extend their most heartfelt apologies to everyone, for everything, but you were warned, weren’t you…)
