The show started innocently enough—great music, brilliant lyrics, and the actors in top form. With each successive song, the atmosphere became increasingly festive. When drinks were handed out to the audience, the line between theater and a team-building party began to blur dangerously. Fortunately, it was all done with a wink and in excellent spirits. During the show, the audience was actually treated to alcohol, which is part of the performance.

Songs about love, life, and… alcoholic beverages ruled the stage. The audience enthusiastically raised symbolic toasts along with the artists. You could get the impression that even the shyest viewers were soon humming the choruses with a conviction worthy of professional choir singers. It’s a show that proves high culture doesn’t have to be dead serious. It’s smart, musical, and very funny, and the free drinks add a unique flavor to the whole thing—literally and figuratively. You leave the theater with a smile, a catchy tune in your head, and the conviction that if you’re going to ‘get drunk,’ it’s best to do it on… good music and great humor.
