LaComedia and "Bubba's Revenge"

The musical sketch comedy "Bubba's Revenge" is the current production at the LaComedia Dinner Theatre in Springboro. It's a followup to a previous LaComedia production titled "The Honky Tonk Angels," a show that featured three women country music singers.
"Bubba's Revenge" has the zesty flavor or the earlier show, but this time three guys add a little spice to the show. Granted, the thin script is somewhat corny, but the show is all about the singing and the cast delivers.
On the distaff side, Jackie Snyder, Leslie Jo Bissett and Tina Shatto are the gal singers who warble their best Dolly Parton, Pasty Cline and Tammy Wynette impersonations. The guys deliver their share of tunes as well and are played by Harold Skaggs, Dustin Harris and Chris Beiser, who delivers an outrageous performance as a goofball with adrenalin to spare.
Included among the dozen or so country songs are "Rhinestone Cowboy," "On the Road Again," "Islands in the Stream" and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." The second act centers primarily on gospel tunes like "His Eye on the Sparrow."
This LaComedia show offers a light, humorous look at folks making a living in the country music business.
"Bubba's Revenge" continues through Feb. 28. For ticket information, call 1-800-677-9505.
