Gunfight at the Not-So-OK Saloon

A fun romp of silly with the creative and musical sophistication to keep it from being frivolous. Like Gilbert and Sullivan where the craft of writing is the true star of the show, I found myself wanting to see the score and read the libretto to catch it all.

The show was great! A lot of hilarious moments and witty punchlines. Brooke is an awesome person and a great writer. This is the second show I have seen of hers (Monkey’s Paw 2017) and it never ceases to amaze me!
