Ryan Landry and his band of misfit actors, The Gold Dust Orphans, present a brand new musical adventure based on “The Miracle Worker” and “Gypsy”.

The full name of the musical is, “LEGALLY BLIND – The Helen Keller Musical” Based on two classic pieces of American theatre, William Gibson’s “The Miracle Worker” and Stephen Sondheim’s “Gypsy”, “LEGALLY BLIND – The Helen Keller Musical” gleefully follows the musical misadventures of one Annie Sullivan, (Ryan Landry) and her physically challenged yet remarkably gifted student, Helen (Jessica Barstis) as they wind their way along the ever changing landscape of adult entertainment through song, dance and plenty of laughs.

Tickets are currently on sale for the limited run which opens on Thursday, April 21st.  For more information and to purchase tickets online link here.

Gold Dust orphans present Legally Blind
April 21 – May 22, 2016

This spring, Ryan Landry’s troupe of misfits will perform their newest production, Legally Blind, in Boston from April 21 – May 22nd and while nothing is confirmed, the Orphan’s spring show in Boston usually goes on to Provincetown in the summer so if you cannot make it to Boston, keep an eye out for this show, should you plan to visit Ptown this summer.

I’ll have more details about the show and tickets as they come available.

Ryan Landry and his cohorts of Theater Misfits A.K.A. Gold Dust Orphans will perform their spring production of Thoroughly Muslim Millie. In just four weeks time, April 9th, is opening night at the Ramrod Performing Arts Center on Boylston Street in Fenway.

About Thoroughly Muslim Millie: A young girl from a Canadian convent is thrust across the border into the Middle East and straight into the arms of the Prince of Persia!  Watch this musical parody explode across the stage with big splashy songs, tap dancing Talibans, and bawdy “Burqa Ladies”.  Thoroughly Muslim Millie features all your Orphan favorites, including: Ryan Landry, Penny Champayne, Olive Another, Liza Lott and Delta Miles.

Thoroughly Muslim Millie runs from April 9th – May 10th get your tickets here.

Unfortunately, I’m not in Boston to see opening night, but luckily Ryan Landry’s latest musical starring Varla Jean Merman will be running in Boston through the middle of March.  You can buy your tickets online here.

Last week I wrote about Ryan Landry’s troupe rehearsing for their new show, Rudolph the Red Necked Reindeer, which opens tonight at the Ramrod Performing Arts Center (otherwise known as Ramrod / Machine) at 1254 Boylston Street in Boston.

About the show:  Based on the Rankin/Bass Christmas special Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, the Orphan’s Rudolph is one sexy redneck with a southern drawl to boot! Along with special guest star Drew Barrymore, (her dogsled pulled by E.T.) Rudy and his trusty friend Herbie are out to save Christmas by any means necessary! But only if they can manage to escape the evil clutches of The Abominable Icicle Snow Monster Lady!

Tickets to this show are certain to sell out so be sure to purchase your tickets today.  Rudolph the Red Necked Reindeer opens tonight and runs through Sunday, December 23rd.

Ryan Landry’s take on the cult film classic, Rocky Horror Picture Show, opened in Cambridge at the Oberon Theater to a sold out audience filled with “Antici-Patients” as Dr. Frank-N-Furter (played by Landry) might have suggested on Friday, October 14th.

The 90-minute show which started at 11PM had all the energy of a rock concert and had half the crowd singing and dancing along with the band and cast.  The show remained faithful to the original with some tweaks and a new score, but Landry’s personality is also evident as he works a few snarky remarks into the act.  The cast croons out the tunes everyone knows with energy and better voices than I would have expected, making the show exceed expectations.

Shows will continue each Friday through December 2nd, and don’t be fooled the best tickets in the house are for standing room which cost only $25.  You can purchase your tickets here (and I hope you do) because I’d love to see this become a new fall tradition with the Oberon and Landry’s Gold Dust Orphans.
