50 Shades! the Musical

I won two tickets to see the off Broadway show, "50 Shades! The musical parody" and took my mom. Of course since the tickets were complimentary our seats were all the way in the back, last row LOL. We didn't complain since they were free but we did ask the usher if we could move up since there were a lot of available seats closer to the stage. That usher walked us right to the first row, woo hoo.

The musical was crazy, funny and raunchy all at once. I was nervous that my mom wouldn't like the off the wall sexual humor in the show but she laughed just as hard as I did. The performers did an excellent job and the story line was very easy to follow. My favorite was definitely their last performance which turned into a gospel choir rendition of something sexual and I cried in tears. I sang that song all the way home. Definitely a must see for a casual and entertaining evening out.

Don't miss this very funny and entertaining musical parody of the book 50 Shades of Grey!

I was not sure what to expect from this musical.
From the opening scene I was laughing and giggling all the way to the end.

The character Christian Grey was played by the comedian Chris Grace who is very funny and can sing pretty well!
His ability to come out and sing with a skimpy athletic wrestling suit really takes the prize for the night.

The role of Anastasia Steele was played by Amber Petty who has a wonderful wide-range singing voice. Her looks and voice reminded me of Linda Ronstaldt in the 80s.

The jokes and subject of this play is rated R so leave the kids home.

The Elektra threater is small. Most of the seats have great view of the stage except the ones on the right side. You'll have to walk up a very tight set of stairs to get to the theater on the 2nd floor. There is an elevator.

This show was hilarious and you don't have to have read the books to get it or enjoy. This is definitely R rated with no one under 18 admitted.

Raunchy parody with top notch singers and actors. The whole theatre was engulfed in laughter. Loosely based on the book, even your men folk who have no clue will enjoy. Not for you bible thumping puritans! All else will appreciate the humor!

Man this show exceeded all expectations, laughed so much at this show.

I will not get into the details and about the plot , it is loosely based on the book.This was one of the show which keeps us hooked from start to finish.Apart from nice storyline this show boosts an amazing cast specially the asian guy who literally steals the show.

Thanks to Ruggy and Yelp for the hookup!

Rarely do I ever do this but I am yelping during the 15 min intermission of the show because it is that freaking AWESOME!!!!!
My wife and I are Laughing are asses off.. Christian Grey character is HILARIOUS. .
This parody I'd innovative and absolutely a must watch!!!! The songs and ideas are completely based on the book ..its raunchy, in your face , no holds barred and there is definitely skin on display....lol
MUST WATCH!!!!! ....

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Laughed our asses off from start to finish. Absolutely hysterical skewering of the book 50 Shades of Grey. This was a total raunch-fest with so many funny lines, zingers, and double-entendres throughout. The songs were brilliant on the scale of the raunchiest South Park comes up with. Sharp writing and brisk direction made this 90 minute show breeze by. So many laughs. So much fisting!

Eye candy for the ladies, and some eye candy for the men. Even a really funny full on banging simulated sex session in the middle of the audience!

We all know that 50 Shades is a horribly written book that is basically literary porn for suburban soccer moms living dreary lives married to schlubby boring husbands. This musical parody of it just destroys the whole concept and actually makes it better. The lead, Chris Grace, who plays Christian Grey, is dead on funny and really steals the show with his characterization of Mr Grey. The female lead, Amber Petty as Anastasia Steele, is just as strong and puts in a terrific performance as the clueless love/sex slave interest of Mr Grey. In fact, the whole crew is very talented, funny, and can really sing.

Also, I will never look at my Asian friends the same again after viewing Chris Grace's performance as Christian Grey! Mind. Blown.

Great Yelp night event! Thanks to Yelp and CM Ruggy for setting this up. Was so worth seeing that I might actually pay for tickets to see it again with friends. Definitely not for the older stuffy folks and proper conservative family members. Much better for those with a dirty mind, groups of open minded friends, sex fiends, and gaggles of cougers on a fun night out. Full bar here and lounge area, plus you're invited to drink at your seats. Winning!

Like a lady in the streets, and a freak in the sheets! 50 Shades lets it all hang out!

What a hilarious play! I had no idea what I was getting into; I actually came here thinking that it was the 50 Shades of Grey musical & didn't know that it was a parody but I laughed from beginning to end.
Bravo to Chris Grace & to the entire cast, all of whom were fantastic singers. The songs were both funny & catchy. You do not have to read the book or even know what it's about in order to enjoy this.
I sat in the 3rd row but the theater is small so any seat is ok. The play runs about 1.5 hr with a 15 min intermission and there is a bar area right before entering.
I highly recommend this musical!

I didn't think I would be entertained by this at all. But I've read the books. All of them. Out of morbid curiosity and because Finlay owned them and insisted I read them years ago. I scoffed at it, wanted to burn them, threw them across the room after reading the words "Inner Goddess" along the pages, etc. But I still read them all in like one day so I could yell at her the day after for purchasing such a frivolous piece of garbage. Anyone that refers to their vagina as their "Inner Goddess" should be shot and buried alive.

But this PLAY.

I could not stop laughing for the love of god. It does what people like me have always wanted to do. Turn this into a ridiculous mockery musical and put it up on stage in Broadway lights to tear this piece of literature to SHREDS. Victory.

The musical was both witty, raunchy, and insanely clever. Even my guy friend that was completely skeptical about this was amused the entire night. Chris Grace is hilarious as the lead Christian Grey. He stole the show. Pretty funny ad lib moments with the audience. Amber Petty as Anastasia had both a powerful voice and reminded me of a if its even possible slightly more hipster and aloof version of Zooey Deschanel. I was pretty impressed with Chloe Williamson's vocal chops as well actually.

Just as a heads up this play is raunchy. Funny but definitely not meant for the kiddies or for the feint of heart. There's a song by Mr. Gray about how he wants to fuck everyone in the audience and fist the naïve little Anna.

Hilarious! Raunchy! Sexy! Just go with some girlfriends, order some drinks and enjoy the show! I went with mine and we all had a great time!!

The entrance to the theater is around the corner from where they have the signs-

I got tickets through living social for $49 and was skeptical of how the show compared to the book will be. We had tickets did 5:00 show but ran late. The nice ticket manager was able to accommodate us with 2 new tickets to the 8:00 show as we missed the first 20 minutes.

Once show started, I was immediately surprised by how good the cast was in being comical and also the singing as it related to the characters in the book. Keep in mind this is a parady, there was some raunchiness to some of the scenes but it's not as (r) rated as the chapters in the book. If you are looking for some comedic relief singing and some dancing, I highly recommend this show. My friend didn't read the book and still enjoyed the show! Worth the $$ and time!
