ginger twinsies off broadway review lindsay lohan parent trap parody

This has been quite the year for theater. I'm talking Audra and Nicole, steamy stripping and Tony Award debacles. And just when I thought things were calming down (summer is usually the time when a slew of shows close to make room for new productions in the fall), a fabulous new play has hit the Off-Broadway scene. And don't be surprised if the plot is giving you deja vu.

According to the description of Ginger Twinsies, now playing at the Orpheum Theatre in NYC's East Village, "In the summer of 1998, a pair of long lost, red-headed twin girls unexpectedly meet at sleep-away camp and hatch a plan to reunite their estranged parents. Sound familiar? Shut up, no it doesn’t!" In fact, it does sound familiar, because the riotous and raunchy comedy is an 80-minute parody of Lindsay Lohan's The Parent Trap.

Here, my rave review of Ginger Twinsies.
