If you’ve ever traveled anywhere by boat, plane, train or bus and lived to tell about it, this is the show for you! Based on the best-selling book from Fodor’s, this hilarious revue offers travel tips and cautionary tales certain to tickle the ribs – or chill the spine – of anyone who has ever set foot outside of his or her own hometown.
Everything from the coach class blues to pesky customs officials is lampooned in this smash-hit off-Broadway revue. One segment lambastes “automated flight reservation systems” as a man tries to book a flight with “Miracle Airlines” (“If it’s a good flight, it’s a Miracle.”) Lost luggage is the subject of another about a hapless business traveler who finds himself “Naked in Pittsburgh.”
Originally presented in a cabaret setting with two men, two women, and a pianist and bass player who both sing, “Secrets Every Smart Traveler Should Know” can be performed by virtually any number of people, virtually anywhere. So hop on for the ride – it’s sure to be a hysterical hit for your theatre company. October 30, 1997, Off-Broadway 933 performances
