“More people have shown up for this town hall than any of our previous ones,” says Fox News Host Chris Wallace as contender for the 2020 Democratic nomination for President Mayor Pete Buttigieg takes the stage in Claremont, New Hampshire. The town hall ends with a standing ovation, also unprecedented.
Buttigieg excoriated some of the network’s hosts, echoing an email he sent to supporters earlier in the day to explain his appearance on a network other Democratic candidates have vowed they would not engage.
“Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” is a classic movie musical from the 1950s about seven brothers who all want a wife, it’s right there in the title. Modern cinephiles have called the musical an “outdated” and “misogynistic” film that “hasn’t aged well.” That is a bit of an understatement as the story involves kidnapping the would-be wives, taking them to their cabin in the mountains and causing an avalanche so that the women will be stuck with them until spring. How romantic.
Luckily, producer and director John Henderson — along with Bryan Jager, Cody Troesch, Lidnsey D. Smith and a local team of talented performers — decided to update the story with the new original musical “7-N-7 (An Old-Fashioned Musical Reimagined).”
Ana Cuellar, the artistic director behind 2018’s Patron’s Pick (Pink) “Luna,” returns to Fringe with “Hombre.”

LGBTQ history in the world isn’t told in mainstream media very often. There isn’t, at least widespread, a push in textbooks and history class to educate on the accomplishments of LGBTQ people. Many of the stories and events that shaped the community live on by being passed from one generation to another in the form of stories, jokes and backstage quips by our drag queens. David LeBarron captures this perfectly in his show “The Complete History of Drag in a Few Mo-mo.”
LeBarron jumps from narrator at the beginning of the show to Auntie, an experienced drag queen who’s time on this earth is limited. In their dressing room of her local gay bar, Auntie guides the new girl — a neophyte drag queen — through queer history.
The team behind Fringe hits “ThanksKilling the Musical” and “S#IT!” are back to tackle one of cinema’s most over-the-top, so-bad-it’s-good cult classic films to come out of the 90’s — Paul Verhoeven’s “Showgirls.”
“A Showgirls Musical” follows the basic — we’ll say plot? — of the original film. Aspiring star Nomi (Played by Jillian Gizzi) hitchhikes her way into Sin City to make it big. She starts off as a stripper at the Cheetah and “works” her way to top headliner in what’s supposed to be one of Vegas’ premier shows.
Paul Rudd parodied 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful and South Bend Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg on the season finale of “Saturday Night Live.”
