(4:55) FREAK DANCE: THE FORBIDDEN DIRTY BOOGALOO "When pop comes to lock, when you're breakin' on the make, sometimes you got to take a chance and dance." By popular demand The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre is reviving Freak Dance: The Forbidden Dirty Boogaloo, a new musical theater extravaganza, written by Matt Besser (Upright Citizens Brigade, Walk Hard) and directed by Lindsay Hendrickson (Reflections on a Mountain). Running on Fridays, starting October 3rd. Freak Dance enjoyed a three month sold out run in the Spring and the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre is proud to be able to bring it back to new audiences. Freak Dance is a straight up, in your face, activated story of how dancers from different worlds come together to save Fantaseez Dance Center, the soul of the streets where dancing is the dream of every street kid, combating the city building inspector, the rival studio, and the Forbidden Dirty Boogaloo. Choreographed by Jennifer Li (American Dreamz) & Kathryn Burns, Musical Direction by Jake Anthony (Oh God, We're Going to Die!) and music by Brian Fountain (Killgore: The Musical) and Jake Anthony, the cast includes Michael Cassady, Megan Lynam, Hal Rudnick (Reno 911!), Sam Riegel (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Drew Droege (Reno 911!), Mike Rose, Angela Trimbur (Entourage), Ben Siemon, Meghan Parks (SF Sketchfest), Allan McLeod, Scott Rodgers, Jackie Johnson, Joel Spence, Kathleen Mangan, James Ross, Greg Winter, Brendan Hunt, and featuring break dancing from the Bad Newz Bears Crew Bboys. Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre is located at 5919 Franklin Avenue; Hollywood, CA; 90028. Valet parking available. Tickets for Freak Dance: The Forbidden Dirty Boogaloo are $10: Fridays, at 8pm.

(4:13) Hearing a businessman scream on a golf course about shoving 3,000 pennies into his anus daily is notable on its own, but in 1998, when televised comedy was restricted to premium channels, low-ebb SNL and MadTV, it was a breath of fresh air. < less
