Description

The Club was first performed in 1976. Not really a play, not really a full ‘book’ musical, it is described in the script as ‘A Musical Diversion’, and all of the music you will hear comes from the period 1894-1905.

The setting is a very exclusive Gentleman’s Club, which could be in New York, London or even Toronto. The time is 1903, and these are wealthy men, come to pass a little time with ‘the boys’ at their favorite ‘getaway from the fairer sex’ – to paraphrase the gentlemen themselves. Their songs and stories about women show an attitude that would hardly be tolerated in these ‘politically correct’ times.

However, there’s something a little bit different here. All the gentlemen in this show are played by women…
