LMAO, a hilarious interactive musical comedy revue, can now be enjoyed off-Broadway at the newly renovated 200 seat Midtown Theater in Times Square. For those who aren’t aware of them, LMAO is a unique show that features original song and sketch comedy that changes daily.
The show is a running exploration of today’s hot topics performed through parodies. For instance, a topic can be told in the style of Twilight, Harry Potter or Dr Seuss, or even through famous personalities such Sarah Palin. Also expect hilarious spoofs of TV shows such as Dexter, Jersey Shore, Glee, American Idol, and Family Guy. The possibilities with the topics are endless, and so is the hilarity. There is no limit to the ridiculousness of the skit, and there lies the funny. One moment, a dog might be singing, the next moment, a famous celebrity “possesses†the performer, offering their opinion through the eyes of that celebrity. The effect is exceedingly funny.
The most important part of LMAO Off-Broadway is audience participation: the audience can actually decide what the topics are for every scene and song, and this open-endedness provides a recipe for unexpected hilarity. Surprisingly, the show’s highly talented cast holds well to the challenges the audience throw at them: using sharp wit and improvisation, the performers dish out uproariously funny original skits and musicals made up from scratch complete with spot on rhythm and rhymes.
