Little Theatre
Musical
Book, Music and Lyrics by The Heather Brothers.
Characters: 4 male, 5 female
Unit set.
The Heather Brothers' homage to swinging sixties music was a smash hit at the King's Head Theatre and it enjoyed a long run after transferring to London's Arts Theatre.
"Slice has a lot of lively original songs in it, 30 of them, each neatly perched on the edge between parody of early rock and the real thing."-- Boston Globe.
"A pleasurable, lightly satirical revel in sixties manners and music ... with bite, kick and hanky panky."-- Guardian.
"Full of such clever, self mocking charm that it's difficult to come away feeling anything but thoroughly entertained.... The real pleasure comes from The Brothers' shameless poaching of an eclectic cross section of famous numbers.... Superb comic pastiche and sharp, cuff link humor."-- Time Out.
"A musical pastiche that takes you spinning back to the swinging decade to celebrate the eternal embarrassment of teen age."-- What's On.

The play does have content which some people might deem inappropriate to be performed by, say, teenagers, and caused much controversy in local press when my school put on the show. But, as I have already mentioned, the sensitivity and honesty of the storyline is what makes this such a special piece of writing, and anyway, a night in front of the TV will give teenagers far worse ideas!
The reason I dropped it a star, was because it doesn't contain the music for the songs, which makes it a little less useful.
