Never before have I been so confused and entranced watching a musical. This farcical new musical by Joe Coghlan is so full of whimsical eccentricity; I barely know where to begin. I can say that it involved fake moustaches, cross-dressing and good Spanish accents, which was more than enough to hook me in. Drawing inspiration from Pokemon and the Princess Bride, the musical culminates in a duel between Little One the Spanish God of Nursery Rhymes, and Gouti, the Spanish God of Lesbianism. For Little One, his Pokemon is the spider from his acclaimed nursery rhyme “itsy bitsy spider”. For Gouti, it’s the Triple Breasted Whore. Naturally, Gouti's mammary-gifted friend triumphs over the spider, and thus Gouti becomes God of them all.
Confused? So was I, but bare with me. The intimate Open Stage Theatre was perfect for the small cast and tight ensemble, which consisted of flute, piano accordian, guitar, piano, triangle, saxophone. The musical score was excellent, and the voice of Little One was particularly superb. An all-round hilarious musical which left this reviewer both dazed, amused but definitely entertained.
