Now this is our kind of sing-along. While others gather to celebrate THE SOUND OF MUSIC, MAMMA MIA, and WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, singing classic, familiar, popular hits, we’d much rather be blasting out such memorable songs as the Oscar-nominated “Blame Canada,” “Uncle Fucka,” “Kyle’s Mom’s a Bitch,” and “What Would Brian Boitano Do?” Since 1997, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have been using colorful low-tech cutouts to show that there are no sacred cows, lambasting celebrities, politicians, religion, sexuality, the military, education, television, movies, corporations, pop culture, and just about everything else they can think of in the animated series South Park, which follows the travails of a group of eight-year-old boys in a small town in Colorado. In 1999, Eric Cartman, Kyle Broflovski, Stan Marsh, and Kenny McCormick got to star in their own feature-length animated film, SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER & UNCUT, in which they lead the resistance to save Terrance & Phillip while Kyle’s mom starts a war with Canada. They’re joined by such SP regulars as Chef, Mr. Mackey, Mr. Garrison, and Wendy Testeberger and such special guests as Satan, Saddam Hussein, and the mysterious Gregory, along with guest voicers George Clooney, Eric Idle, Minnie Driver, Dave Foley, and Brent Spiner. The musical numbers, written by Parker with Henry Mancini Award winner Marc Shaiman (HAIRSPRAY), are a riot, including “I’m Super” from the irrepressible Big Gay Al, which boasts the fabulous lyrics “Bombs are flying / People are dying / Children are crying / Politicians are lying too // Cancer is killing / Texaco’s spilling / The whole world’s gone to hell // But how are you? / I’m super / Thanks for asking!” Tickets are $13 and come with one beer, props, a trivia contest, and other goodies.
