One of the funniest and funnest shows I’ve seen in a long time. It’s very cleverly written and the performances are all delightful. I had a big smile on my face from start to finish, and beyond. ... full review

A fabulously funny one act old west operetta in the style of Gilbert & Sullivan. Joyous and silly with a biting lyrical wit, Gunfight merges the musical complexity of light opera (including singers with gorgeous voices) with the tone and narrative sensibility of Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles. The performers all have legit opera voices and the composer/librettist pulls off the extremely difficult trick of writing beautiful music which is also very humorous. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an hour's whimsical respite from all the doom and gloom. ... full review

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you mix the absurdity of the Old Wild West with the sharp, witty operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan, Gunfight at the Not-So-OK Saloon provides a delightful answer.

Set in the dusty streets of a not-so-glamorous Wild West town, the show takes the traditional trope of the high-noon gunfight and turns it on its head, presenting characters that seem more preoccupied wi... full review

Composer/Creator Brooke DeRosa has an obvious affection for, and understanding of, the mix of catchy melody and clever lyrics that made Gilbert & Sullivan’s works audience favorites for well over a century. But rather than contenting herself with placing PIRATES OF PENZANCE on the next SpaceX shuttle, DeRosa has created her own homage to G & S, with GUNFIGHT AT THE NOT-SO-OK SALOON. And a very fun evening it is. ... full review
