June 17, 2008....Hollywood, CA...The World Premiere of the Outlaw Style Thrance

Using their signature blend of dance and theatre, The Outlaw Style Thrance Co. tells

the tale of a motley crew of not so clever crooks who bungle a burglary. The show has

been inspired by the 1958 Italian film Big Deal On Madonna Street and Bob Fosse's

1986 musical Big Deal.

 

Life may be a bowl of cherries, but not for these crooks. Our hapless gang stumble on

what is arguably the job to retire on. All they need to do is find a fall guy, seduce a male

nurse, scale a building, break through a wall, and then crack a safe. And that's the easy

part.

 

The Heist Show: A Thrance Caper features music by Preston Oliver, Aretha Franklin,

Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, The Latin Playboys, Fun Boy Three, Sly and the Family

Stone, Terry Adams, Holly Cole, and Chandler Travis.
