In Trousers March 12, 2011

Egads! Theatre Company presents the Kansas City premiere of In Trousers by contemporary musical master William Finn (composer of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee). Marvin has a kid and a wife AND a lover. When this balancing act gets too hot for Marvin, he reverts to himself at age 14 dodging the affection of his high school sweetheart and chasing after his aloof English teacher. Finn's clever, catchy and breathless songs pitch us in and out of Marvin's confused adolescence and his current struggle between fantasies of kissing men and a desire to maintain a normal family life.
