‘Five, The Parody Musical, a whimsical witch hunt on off-Broadway, is a sassy political satire worth savoring.’—360®
The comedic cast is empowering yet uplifting. Their timing is unparalleled, and they possess a high level of enchanting effervescence. As the extended run comes to a close, you still have time to experience this MUST-SEE. Without spilling too much tea, they accurately depict America’s current state of DonaldTics. Even Sleepy Joe will stay awake for this jewel. Besides the big hair, the Stormy Daniels piece had us in stitches.
With special guest Jasmine Rice LaBeija, the entire cast and crew conjured the perfect cure for the theatre district’s dismal attendance analytics. Five the Musical is on par with the current state of the millennial mafia as i’ts curated to tickle their tummies.
