Saucy Wenches in the Trenches

EYE WEEKLY Review:

A string of songs held together by a slim story line, Saucy Wenches in the Trenches is, by and large, a celebration of show tunes. Juicy Lucy ( Carolyn Lykkemark) and Jaded Jessie ( Heather Dick) sport sparkly polyester dresses, meet while waiting for an audition and end their initial rivalry by finding common ground, using material by Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz (“It's an Art” is a highlight, particularly due to the talented accompaniment) and other showbiz staples. But the show would be nothing without the considerable talents of the divas, who sing extremely well and with obvious joy.



Play details & schedule:

by Heather Dick & Carolyn Lykkemark
(www.saucywenches.ca)
presented by 2 Hot Blonde Divas from Toronto, ON

 

Juicy Lucy and Jaded Jesse battle for the spotlight in a cabaret-style musical comedy. Yin meets Yang as these two hot blonde divas clash over the trials of show business (and waitressing). Eventually they realize that, despite dashed hopes (and lost tips), life is an art.
