"’WHAT’S THE POINT?!’ SCORES!
A bubbly and irreverent, faced-paced new musical revue with a gayish sensibility!"
- Bruce-Michael Gelbert, Q on Stage
"What’s The Point?!" is a loving throwback to the irreverent West Village revues of the late 1950’s and 1960’s, which took pointed shots at the conditions of society and commented on popular trends. Like its predecessor, What’s Your Problem?!, this revue was crafted from a slightly-gay perspective, but the truths are all universal. Featuring songs like "It’s a Telenovela", "How Can I Miss You (If You Wont Go Away)", "A Baby Like That", "A Real Straight Guy" and "That’s Why We Love the Zoo", the show pokes fun at cell phone junkies, Upper West Side parenting, prescription pharmaceuticals, Disney’s "The Little Mermaid", on-line dating, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi among a myriad of other random topics.
The show is suitable for ages 13 and up.
"My Moment" (Performed by Hector Coris)
