541. Footlight Fairies Cabaret Turn-About JC Superstar

Some of the cast at Footlight Fairies Cabaret (located off the lobby at Loveless Motel) are caught treading the boards in rehearsal for an as yet unannounced number, but a little bird has let us know that the one-night-only production will feature an all male, all nude cast presenting snippets of Jesus Christ Superstar. Show Director Bobbi Frapples says "Yes, I know we are taking a lot of liberties here, however we're saving a fortune on costumes."  In this scene, a confrontational J.C.(portrayed by the sensational Mr. Leva Malone, Miss F I Des Moines, 1962) is calmed by Marty Magdalene (as usual, on his knees) and Judas Iscariot, who entreat him with "Everything's Alright". In the fully realized production, beards will be added.  Isn't that just always the way...  

Mr. Frapples candidly confesses they still have to work out how tips will be handled, because after all it IS drag queens, albeit out of drag,  but currently the thought is coin-tossing from audience seats with silver dollars purchased in advance, to simulate shekels. The idea has been presented to Nic the Senior Manager who, concerned with liability issues of flying metal objects hurled by drunks with petty grudges in the direction of a stage in a darkened room, will seek the advice of Pounds, Butts and Bates LLC., Loveless Motel's solicitors of choice.
