After love letters from the critics and intense audience acclaim, the splendidly savage and delightfully bitter British musical comedy trio Fascinating Aida have announced the triumphant Off Broadway return of their show Absolutely Fascinating. Catch the ladies in a limited engagement through May 15 only!
Always painfully humorous and bitingly satirical, Fascinating Aida has established itself as the UK's top musical theater act, garnering a host of awards and three Olivier Award nominations, the highest honor in British theater. Singing hilarious original songs of love and sex--things the girls claim to have much experience with--each number reflects the age we're in and the age we are at.
Billed as TV's Absolutely Fabulous meets Noël Coward, sung by the Andrews Sisters, Fascinating Aida's 2003 engagement in London's West End celebrated 20 years of having audiences in tears and laughter and the group recently received a 2004 Olivier Award nomination for Best Entertainment. John Simon of New York Magazine raves that these, "are three inspired women: irrepressibly versatile Dillie Keane, a sort of naughtier Angela Lansbury; statuesque, subduedly sexy Adèle Anderson, deadpan poison-dart thrower; and the relative newcomer, curly-blonde Liza Pulman, sassy specialist in soprano pinpricks. Their words, like their sparkling music, are never less than diabolically dead center."
