The climate crisis is upon us, perhaps it’s already too late to save the world, but the showgirls of Club Fistfight are not going to go down without fighting tooth and fake nails.
What the world needs is a bombshell with a magnetic personality (not to mention ass) that can literally attract metal and glass. A sexy lady Jesus who can save the planet by making it hot!
The club has been left to Scarlett by her father, along with her dead mother’s G-string and some questionable advice. The plan is to spread their legs, open their hearts and get people hard for Mother Earth, perhaps winning fame and fortune along the way.
Scarlett, Jane and Eliza launch a series of showstopping cabaret numbers targeting the corporate Big Bad of the Week, from oil to factory fishing and flatulent cows, in the hope of enlightening even one person to individual responsibility which will see them pick up a placard. But with audiences that number in the handful the club is on the verge of closure.
Perhaps Scarlett can trust burgeoning love interest Tony, an ostensibly eco-conscious charmer to help challenge the greenwashing and self-interest of those in power and save the day.
But when her degree in Environmental Science and all the sashaying with sequins, sass, and a serious message she can muster isn’t enough, more direct action might be required. And after all Bombshells have more fun.
This risqué comedy musical packages its serious message in bubble wrapped silliness. Energetically performed with charming stage chemistry and some polished three-part harmonies it’s a sparkling eco-cabaret that manages to keep the feathers flying while pointing a well-aimed finger at those most responsible for our planet’s plight.
It’s a little messy, but bright, funny, and knowing.
