Press Release:
Repertory Philippines proudly announces its
second offering for the year 2013 with “ No Way To Treat A Lady ” --- a musical
comedy thriller with book, music and lyrics written by award-winning
author/composer Douglas J. Cohen.
Directed
by Audie Gemora, “ No Way to Treat a Lady ” is a dark, energetic and funny
musical about good boys, bad boys, and the women who shape their lives focusing
on themes like betrayal, death, friendship, Jewish/Yiddish issues, love, parenting
/ family.
The musical was based on the 1964 novel of
the same name by William Goldman which was made into a motion picture in 1968.
Set in summer 1970’s New York City, “ No Way to Treat a Lady ” tells the story of
Christopher "Kit" Gill (Audie Gemora), an unsuccessful actor turned
serial killer ---- a maniac with mommy
issues who is on a rampage, and the NYPD detective on his trail, Morris
"Moe" Brummell (Joel Trinidad).
Brummell is a Jewish bachelor, who still lives with his overbearing
mother, in the shadow of his successful brother, the doctor.
The detective leads a rather unexceptional
existence, and yearns for a way to make a name for himself. His goal is shared by an unlikely person, a
serial killer seeking notoriety and attention from the police, the press and
the city at large. The killer phones Moe one day and the two begin a taunting
game of cat and mouse that results in a strange dependence on one another.
Moe's plan to track and eventually trap the
killer is temporarily waylaid when he meets a beautiful, rich society girl who
lives in the apartment building of the first victim. Woven into the main story of
cop vs. killer are two subplots ---- what made Kit a killer and Moe's
relationship with his mother and his new girlfriend.
NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY received a Fred Ebb Award for Musical Theatre
Songwriting, a Richard Rodgers grant, and a nomination for Best Revival by the
New York Outer Critics Circle.
