CURRENT PRODUCTION
"LEADING LADIES"
Cue Theatre is proud to bring to Taranaki this NZ Premiere
An outrageous comedy by Ken Ludwig
and directed by Margi Arthur
Tuesday 23rd March - Saturday 3rd April 2010

Leading Ladies has been described as a combination of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot. Not bad company! These are two of the most profoundly beautiful—and hysterically funny—stories ever told. In the hands of Ken Ludwig, this tale of mistaken identities, human foibles, and loves lost and found (not to mention cross-dressing) comes alive in a hilarious romp that has had great success in regional theatres overseas.

Delightfully silly, Leading Ladies follows the adventures of Jack and Leo, two down-on-their-luck Shakespearean actors, who hope to scam their way out of the Moose Lodge circuit by posing as the long-lost nephews of Florence, an elderly and apparently dying heiress. When our heroes learn that Florence's missing relatives are nieces, not nephews, they ransack their costume trunks and don women's clothing—but their successful masquerade proves problematic when Leo falls head-over-heels for Florence's winsome niece, Meg. 

Will Jack and Leo inherit millions and spend the rest of their lives in the lap of luxury? Will Meg marry her stuffy, fortune-hunting fiancé or follow her dream of seeing the big, wide world? Slapstick goofiness, scrambled Shakespeare, and good-natured laughs make Leading Ladies an irresistible treat.

Margi Arthur has put together a talented cast for the New Zealand Premiere Production:
LEO - Andrew Judd; JACK - Antony Jones; MEG - Nicci Smith; DUNCAN - Morris West; AUDREY - Kristen Devine; DOC - Tom Crehan; BUTCH - Justin Lowcay; and FLORENCE - Lea Michaels
