DIE HEART


Troubadour Theater Company’s band of triple-threat zanies spoof the action movie genre in their own inimitable way in Die Heart, combining the Troubies’ trademark blend of unrepressed lunacy with the songs of ‘70s/’80s rock legends Ann and Nancy Wilson jukeboxed into their take on the movie that launched Bruce Willis’s career as everybody’s favorite cop-turned-antiterrorist.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN’ TO MOTOWN


The Troubies are back at their old stomping grounds in Toluca Lake with a fresh new take on one of their all-time favorite holiday offerings, Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Motown, and what a tune-filled, joy-packed December delight it is.

LIZASTRATA


Start spreading the news. The Troubadour Theater Company is back, live and in person at the Getty Villa, mashing up the ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata with the Troubies’ trademark blend of zany jokes, inspired adlibs (impromptu or scripted, you be the judge), snappy dance moves, and “the music of Liza Minnelli” in the cleverly redubbed Lizastrata.

THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOWIE

Ziggy Stardust, aka The Little Drummer Bowie, is back in town, in Toluca Lake to be specific, as The Troubadour Theater Company revives its 2005 holiday musical smash with a fresh new script and a superstar lead performance by Falcon Theatre returnee (and Jersey Boy extraordinaire) Joseph Leo Bwarie in the title role.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO MOTOWN

The Troubadour Theater Company is back at the Falcon Theatre for their once-a-year Christmas fun fest, a reprise of the smash 2004 hit Santa Claus Is Coming To Motown, and though I only counted two actual Motown songs (plus a brief medley) amongst Santa’s dozen or more R&B/soul hits, the Troubies’ latest annual year-end offering remains a hilarious holiday treat.
