Show InformationBook: Douglas Carter Beane Music & Lyrics: Lewis Flinn Direction: Keith Rabin Jr. Music Direction: Blake Nawa'a Choreography: Danny Harrigan "An effervescent, tasty and surprisingly filling new musical with high-octane performances and an infectious score" - Ben Brantley, New York Times High-energy musical Lysistrata Jones hits the Aurora Fox Mainstage with humor, heart and hoops, offering a modern spin on Aristophanes' bawdy comedy about the women of Ancient Greece withholding sex in order to get their men to end the war. In this reincarnation, we have a group of college students -- Lyssie J. and her cheerleader posse -- who won't "give it up" until their basketball-playing boyfriends win a game. A hilarious book and an upbeat pop score keeps the performers in constant motion, performing basketball stunts, cheerleader flips, hip-hop moves, b-boying and all manner of dancing. Ignite Theatre promises to "Give it Up" to you this summer with the REGIONAL PREMIERE of Lysistrata Jones.
