[NEohioPAL] Critics are talking about Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical - Blank Canvas Theatre

[Patrick Ciamacco]

*“…Debbie Does Dallas, the Musical** **is a libidinous and raunchy holiday
treat. And those are the best kind.” - Christine Howey (Scene Magazine)*
*
*

*“Though still new on the scene, with "Debbie," Blank Canvas, under
artistic director Patrick Ciamacco, has brought another twisted, funny,
edgy musical to Cleveland… where the people onstage are having as much fun
as the audience.”  *– Andrea Simakis (The Plain Dealer)

*“DEBBIE DOES DALLAS is the kind of show that will entertain some, irritate
others, titillate some, offend others.  The script, the production, and the
concept has all the makings of a cult musical…” –* Roy Berko (
Broadwayworld.com <http://broadwayworld.com/>)

*If you’re expecting a dramatic, award-winning story with family-friendly
music, **Debbie** **is not for you. If you’re up for a night of crass,
innuendo-filled camp provided by half-naked actors, **Debbie** **will fit
your bill.* – Kate Miller (Examiner.com <http://examiner.com/>)

1305 West 78th Street, Suite 211. Cleveland, OH 44102

The show is the coming-of-age story of an all-American small-town
sweetheart named Debbie Benton. Debbie is captain of her high-school
cheerleading team, but she dreams of making it to the big time by becoming
a Texas Cowgirl Cheerleader. The only thing that stands between her and the
realization of her dream is bus fare to the big city: Dallas. Debbie
enlists her teammates, Lisa, Roberta, Donna and Tammy. The girls form a
company called Teen Services and get jobs, but they quickly realize
minimum-wage jobs just don't pay enough. Luckily, Debbie's boss, Mr.
Greenfelt, has an idea how the girls can raise enough money in time. A
ridiculous musical parody based on the 1978 pornographic film Debbie Does
Dallas. However, unlike the original movie, the musical does not contain
any actual sex or nudity.

*"A scream! A saucy, tongue-in-cheek romp." —The New Yorker.*
*
*
*"Hilarious! DEBBIE manages to have it all: beauty, brains and a great
sense of humor!" —Time Out NY.*
*
*
*"Shamelessly silly, shrewdly self-aware and proud of being naughty. Great
fun!" —NY Times.*
*
*
*"Racy and raucous, a lighthearted, fast-paced thoroughly engaging and
hilarious send-up." —NY Daily News.*
*
*
*Blank Canvas Theatre provides professional quality productions, placing
emphasis on entertainment at affordable prices.*
