THEATER REVIEW: MADONNA IN "THE TITLE" (2003) * (1 star out of 4).
External link:
The joke of this play is that its a play about a producer and a director trying to trick people into seeing a play by putting "Madonna" in the title of the play "'Madonna' in the title" in such a way that it seems like she's in it, "Madonna in 'The Title.'" This is, in fact, what the actual creators of this play did. Quite a little more sleazy than clever, surely, but fair enough, I suppose. I mean, who'd expect Madonna to actually be in a $15 NYC Fringe Festival play, anyway, right? But here's the complete description of the play that convinced me it was worth my time and money, and that of my visiting family, and why all performances of this very mediocre show completely sold out before opening night:
"Madonna (yes, MADONNA) stars in this FringeNYC Comedy about two dimwits who plot a murder for money to produce a comedy at FringeNYC starring Madonna! Expect the unexpected as producers Jaxx and Ger bring you high camp, high actors and a big "Hi" from everyone's favorite Material Mom."
That's not a tiny bit clever-- that's just fraud. Accordingly, my parents decided to do a chargeback on their credit card purchase of the tickets!
