A bevy of accomplished Broadway and off-Broadway composers and writers have created the ultimate revue – a no-frills, melodic, “not liable to date in our lifetime” satire: a sort of musical “Saturday Night Live!” Conceived by director/lyricist Martin Charnin (“Annie”), “The No-Frills Revue” takes its cue from the brilliantly sardonic topical revues of the 1950s, employing original songs, sketches, a small cast and trio of musicians in an hilarious all-out assault on the world as we know it: onomatopoetic names; the terrors of a high school reunion; extravagant rock concert benefits for obscure causes; ginsu knives; obligatory tap numbers; people who go through the ten-item express lane with twenty; and some intriguing “first drafts” of well-known musicals, including “Annie” as written by Stephen Sondheim and Jerry Herman's “West Side Story.” Performed without intermission, this snappy, fast-paced revue is guaranteed not to bore, run on or wrinkle with age.
