A SEND UP OF ALL THINGS TACOMA >>>
Fabulous Tacoman Doug Mackey has retool his Fab Four-themed variety show that he staged at the City Club of Tacoma's 25th Anniversary Gala last October and will present it for the general public Thursday, May 6 at the Tacoma Musical Playhouse. Accompanied by keyboardist Terry O'Hara and a chorus of talented young singers/performers, Mackey - sporting a Beatles accent and wig - will take the audience on a musical journey through Tacoma's dark side. Mackey has reworked famous Beatles songs changing the lyrics to poke fun at the Luzon building, Frank Russell, The proposed spire, Tollefson Plaza, Bicentennial Pavilion, downtown condos, LeMay Car Museum, Rep. Norm Dicks, potholes, and unfortunately for Tacoma, much more.
Here's a sneak peek:
"ALL YOU NEED IS CASH" (sung to the Beatles' "All You Need is Love")
There's nothing you can do that can't be done
No museum downtown that can't be funded
A four hundred foot spire built at the bottom of a hill?
It's easy
There's no one you can hire that won't be paid
No dock in old town that can't be saved
Murray Morgan Bridge will be restored for sure in time
It's easy
All you need is cash
All you need is cash
All you need is cash, cash
Cash is all you need
There's no condo in town that can't be filled
No post and beam bridge that can't be built
McMenamin's Elks Lodge with a Turkish bath inside?
It's easy
All you need is cash
All you need is cash
All you need is cash, cash
Cash is all you need
All you need is cash
All you need is cash
All you need is cash, cash
Cash is all you need
Make your reservation now. This show will sell out.
