Now when you're touring all these different theaters, is the
Fabulous Fox one of the few that do that?
Speaker 3 (03:37):

so many with the history that the Fabulous Fox has.

the country.

which of course the Fabulous Fox is, and most are.
But what's special about the Fox is that it's it's
even more special backstage. Yeah, that is that really brings
the history to it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, I'm so glad that you're here. And for people
that know nothing about some like it hot nothing about
the Marilyn Monroe film. I know it's it's it's basically
song dance. It's spectacular numbers. But is it more a comedy?

How would you expe it is one percent of comedy.
You will be laughing hysterically. So just a quick little
blurb on the show. It is a It's about two
brothers who witness a mob killing and they have to
go on the lamb and disguise themselves as women in
an all girl band and from their high jinks and zuits.
Speaker 1 (04:47):

in the movie. I think they both kind of like
the same girl.
