"Imagine Mel Brooks' History o f the World, Part I as a stage musical.. .and you have

an inkling of the hilarity in the new musical comedy The Big Bang.. ."

-Back Stage magazine

This zany. high-energy, two character show is set in a Park Avenue apartment where a backer's audition is being held for the most expensive Broadway musical ever. The show's creators need $83.5 million to bring The Big Bang to Broadway, and the audi- ence becomes the prospective backers for the show.

The story line of the show is nothing less than an irreverant history of the world - starting with the opening number, "One Big Bang," the birth of the universe. The show is a series of mini-production numbers moving along through all the other "big" moments in history covering everything from Adan1 and Eve, ancient Rome. Henry VIII, to present day.

The show takes place in a Park Avenue apartment where even more inventive than the lyrics or score are the ingenious costumes that the performers hysterically assemble from it's furnishings. Curtains are ripped off the wall to become togas, an upside-down lampshade becomes Nefertiti's Egyptian headpiece, and an Ottoman serves as a stone block from a pyramid. The actors rush around frantically. dismem- bering the filrnishings and twiddling the dimmer switches between scenes.

This hysterical romp through history uses comic dialogues in between the musical numbers and lots of parody about the original historical characters or situations. The Big Bang, directed by M. Seth Reines, will keep audiences laughing throughout.

The performance schedule for The Big Bang is Wednesday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.; Saturday matinees at 4 p.m.; Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8 p . m

Tickets for The Big Bang are available by calling (21 7) 728-7375 or toll-free 1-888- 261-9675. A major credit card is required to hold all telephone reservations. Subscriber-$ 1 8; Patron-$22; Student, Senior, Group (20-60)-$20; Group (6 I+):-$19.

In this sequel to the ever-popular Smoke on the Mountain, the Sanders family returns to Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, on the Christmas Eve of 1941. Reverend Oglethorpe has invited them to the Baptist Church to sing and witness, getting the con- gregation into the down-home holiday spirit before the boys, including one of the Sanders' own, are shipped off to World War 11. More than two dozen Christmas carols, many of them vin- tage hymns, and hilarious yuletide stories from the more or less devout Sanders family keep the audience laughing, clapping and singing along with bluegrass Christmas favorites. Richly enter- taining, this wildly infectious musical brings cheer to audiences eager to see how their friends from Smoke on the Mountain have been getting along.
