Dir ector ’s Notes

When was t he last time you saw a barbershop musical? Me neit her, and I have been looking. From my earliest school days, I have been a singer and was a nerdy choir kid before Gleeks were a t hing. Finding a hilarious comedy t hat focused on close harmonies of a small group of guys has reconnected me wit h my glory days. Society has found room recently for nerds of all types, people who are drawn toget her wit h shared passions, eager to share t he joys t hey have found in t heir niche interests.

The Fabulous Lipitones celebrates t he passion for close vocal harmony. But it also b e gs t h e q u e

: W h

barbershop quartet have t he same bonding needs as any small group of best f ri e n d s ? T h e p l ay l o o k s a t t h

skewers our preconceived expectations.

In many ways, t his show doesn’t fit t he standards for a musical at all, and yet t he re h e a rs a

Barbershop has never been mainstream but has always found an appreciative f o l l o wi ng a n d d e v o t e d si ng e rs T his s h o w u n d e rst a n d s a n

reasons for t hat while being comically self-aware I hope you enjoy our show as much as we have enjoyed putting it toget her.
