I heard Shelton is one of the players.
(Who's known to break out into song on the J24, on occasion!)
Will be there this Sunday to check it out
anyone know if the humor in this is kid friendly/safe? I am thinkning about taking my 8 and 6 yr old boys to see it.
Just talked to Shelton, he is playing both a Police Officer and a pirate...
He says it's a-ok for the kiddos, JZ.
Meet and greet after the show in the "Green Room"...he said to stop by.
Absolutely Kid Friendly. Wonderful fun.
Pirates, police, damsels, a pirate king and a major general ... It starts with secluded beach in Cornwall, a birthday party for the apprentice pirate, victorian damsels arriving to (shockingly) paddle, and it ends with everybody dancing off to a doctor of divinity ...
Thanks for posting a note, Chris, and yeah, it's kid friendly. I'm in the pirate and police chorus, and the sargeant's understudy, hoping he *doesn't* break a leg (you'll see why). There are four shows left, today and next Sun 7/26 at 2:30, next Fri 7/24 & Sat 7/25 at 8:00.
Call the box office at 713-238-2325, tell 'em I sent ya.
Y'all have fun at Race Week, and Silver Bullet will be back out Wed-Nite and Bay Cup!

That was a great show!
Shelton is hard to miss, even without the beard.
It looked like a full house for Sunday's (7/19) show
*Bravo!*
