Darlings,
Over here at Dynasty HQ (Hairy Queen), we’re knee deep in holiday spirit! These halls are b'decked with neckties and “I’d rather be golfing” garlands, as we anticipate the absolute magic that is Father’s Day week. (Though, you know we be stretchin' the celebrations through the month. ;) Or something.) Anywayyyy, we had a great weekend at the theater including a last-minute heads up about some CELEBRITIES in the audience that threw us into an absolute tizzy of delight. We don’t want to be TaCkY and say who they were… but basically the best power couple that isn’t Beyoncé/J-Z, Keanu/Jennifer, Garfield/Jon.
Who even knows what SURPRISE celebs may get cozy in the audience this week (maybe YOU?!), but we already have so many confirmed celebs for the stage we honestly couldn’t care less. (JK we always care! We are very ExCitaBle and "... That’s the Dynasty Difference!™)

MONDAY JUNE , 7:30PM: The Fast and the Furious: A Musical Parody
SOLD OUT - BACK JULY 21ST!!
After a sold out pre-pandemic run LA’s boldest baldest musical is back with a vengeance and a revamped second act. New songs! New dances! Same dumb premise!
Come watch your favorite car-driving gang members battle their greatest foe yet– singing and dancing at the same time.
In this unauthorized parody that is in no way connected to the very profitable Universal property, Dominic Toretto and his team (The Rock, Tyrese, Michelle Rodriguez, and Ludacris) do what they do best: commit crimes. And what they do second best: solve crimes. And what they do third best: harmonize.
Join Dominic on an existential journey inward where he confronts life’s hard questions: What does it mean to be a good person? Does the rightness or wrongness of an action depend on its consequence, or whether it fulfills the categorical imperative? Why can’t you marry a car?
With all original music and a new twist on the story, this part parody/part love-letter to THE BEST MOVIE FRANCHISE EVER is for both fans of the series and people who’ve never heard Vin Diesel say “family.”
If you want to watch one of the films to prepare, we suggest ALL OF THEM *but actually the 8th movie, The Fate of the Furious.
Smoderlingly,
VanJam
