Another in the Cabaret’s tradition of English Panto-inspired holiday shows created by OCT’s own Jim Giancarlo, Jim Malachi and Darcy Danielson. Ali Baba (the black sheep of the Baba family) is on a hero’s quest. He is aided by our narrator, the beauteous Scheherazade, and by a wry Genie (“I prefer Eugene”) and opposed by the arch-villain Pasha Poobah, who plans to subjugate the world by commandeering a certain precious dark substance. Along the way Ali meets Brooklyn-born Ruby Twankey and her mute daughter, Pearl, who operate a Bedouin-breakfast in the desert; an English twit-and-punk pair called Fish and Chip; and a singing-dancing Camel. All of the Panto elements are here: broad humor, puns in abundance, cross-dressing, topical references, wacky romance, wild costumes, audience retorts and an eclectic score with themes pilfered from Rimsky-Korsakov. Order early: our holiday shows sell out quickly.
