Sung: Attend the tale of Tracy Tyler, the demon tranny of Schaumburg. She played in a musical as a man, even though she is a tranny.
Sorry, I can’t make this parody song go on much longer, but please do attend the tale of Tracy Tyler.
On today’s show Tracy’s cast mate James Nedrud and musical director Jack Cameron come to talk about Sweeney Todd the musical, now in it’s final weekend in Chicago. We ask them about what attracts them to this macabre musical and what they thought of Tracy auditioning as man.
Here’s one of Tracy’s handsome friends in the show, actor James Nedrud. Don’t you think he looks like a young version of Tracy?
Tracy stars in Sweeney Todd as Beetle Banford, a bad guy who helps the villain get away with his terrible deeds. But like most bad guys, he gets the ultimate shave from Sweeney Todd.
And for those of you who love to hate Tracy, be sure to buy a ticket and see Tracy gets brutally murdered by Sweeney Todd. In the show, the dead bodies get ground up into savory meat pies and with Tracy, that’s a lot of meat pies! Anybody want to buy a franchise?
But if you have long, bedazzled fingernails, doesn’t it limit you from doing a ton of things, like play the piano or put on contact lenses? I’m sorry, but that argument seems pretty weak, considering they already sell styluses for the iPhone for those who prefer to use a stick instead of their fingertips.
Saudi Officials take a page out off of Sweeney Todd by declaring you can now marry a one year old, as long as you don’t have sex with her. So you can make a marriage contract for your one year old daughter and she isn’t going to have to put out until later, like Mohamed’s wife Aisha who he married at age six but had sex with her at nine.
Police in Australia are crying out - Scooby Doo, Where Are You? A man in a rented Scooby Doo costume invaded a track event. He has alluded police and he used a fake drivers license and credit card to hire the costume so chances are slim that he’ll return it. I bet he’s off in the Mystery Machine with Shaggy smoking weed and planning his next prank.
Kids in Salt lake are now protesting high gas prices because their mom had to cut “cabel” to pay for their gas bills. Hopefully, at least, they’ll learn to spell with all that time on their hands that they won’t be watching “cabel.” The kids might be better off setting up a lemonade stand or work in a Chinese sweatshop to pay for the cable bills themselves if they want it that bad.
The controversial British Gay Heinz Mayonnaise Ad has been pulled due to customer complaints. The ad featured a NYC deli man serving up sandwiches to his kids who call him “mom” and his husband who he kisses and calls “sweet cheeks.” The ad never aired during choldren’s viewing hours, not because of the gay kiss, but because of “new rules from Ofcom that restrict ads for products high in fat, salt and sugar.”
Here’s our idea for a fun night- go have dinner at Big Jones Restaurant, then check out Tracy in Sweeney Todd the Musical- playing Friday and Saturdays at 8pm, June 27th & 28th at the Actors Theater Company at 1125 W. Loyola Avenue in Chicago.
Attend the tale of the Feast of Fools.

Great show…now I’ve got to listen to Sweeney Todd (fortunately I’ve got three versions on my iPod). Love the pictures of Ty, great makeup.
I thought the whole Mayo commercial was alluding to the fact that if you make sandwiches with their mayo you’d be just like a New York Deli man. I thought that it was really the “mom” still making the sandwiches but she just looked like a Man (thus the kids calling him Mom).

I’m getting tickets for *FRIDAY’S* show — anyone else going?

Tracy, always a pleasure. Since you can act as a man and a woman, then you can be up for twice the roles. Hope to one day see you in a show.
I have a suggestion for the 2 kids in Salt Laker City- take the fucking school bus to school. I know in Atlanta when school is out, traffic is cut in half. If only kids would take the bus, that would free up some money, the traffic, and make less pollution.

Johnny is right, the guys did a great jingle for us for Big Jones! I love it. Is that the hot 19-year old sailor in the red shirt in the picture?! I hope he comes in to Big Jones…yum. I might have to go see the show Friday night now! Did I mention we’re starting half-price wine nights on Wednesdays?

Great show with funny and interesting guests but shame on you Tracy Tyler! The UK come below the US and Mexico in the fat stakes (according to Statemaster.com) but take heart, IL is 26th with West Virginia first and DC last.

Wow, those are really scary pictures of Tracy as Beetle Banford!!! I’m really glad you didn’t eat human flesh meat pies on the show, knowing how hungry you guys can get…. LOL.

Great show. I want to comment on two issues. FIrst I don’t think there is anything unique about the current spate of revelations about the Church’s excesses...
