Paul Conroy, founder and producing artistic director of Out Front Theatre Company, thought he had the closing show of his 10th season locked up — the stage version of the movie Clue. But when the national tour of that production extended, there was a block on the rights. Joining forces with frequent collaborator Jack Caron, the…
Three years ago, Out Front Theatre welcomed the ghost of Joan Crawford in Christmas Dearest, a holiday parody that had Crawford step into the role of Scrooge. This year, she steps into the role of Meryl Streep in Mamma Dearest! Here We Joan Again, a raucous skewering of Mamma Mia complete with campy costumes and…
If you are looking for an insightful, compelling or even cohesive plot, then 9 to 5: The Musical is not the place to look. However, if you are looking for an irreverently good time with a stellar cast and toe-tapping beats, then consider clocking in at Out Front Theatre. Its season opener runs through November…

All of these qualities are captured in Out Front Theatre’s gleefully irreverent production, running until November 9. Under Justin Kalin’s…
