Tamarie's Greatest Hits, Volume 3

The Catastrophic Theatre

Tamarie's Greatest Hits, Volume 3

By Tamarie Cooper & Patrick Reynolds; Directed and Choreographed by Tamarie Cooper

WORLD PREMIERE

“TAMALALIA FOREVER!”

As every good Houstonian knows, Tamarie Cooper creates another in a series of wholly original, full-scale musicals every summer—a Houston institution with a cult following—featuring wildly irreverent scripts, riotously funny songs, wackadoodle dances, spectacular sets, large casts of quadruple-threat performers, a small but mighty band, and of course Houston’s own Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, and Bugs Bunny rolled into one, the undefeated champion of ass-clownery, Tamarie Cooper, co-star Kyle Sturdivant forever at her side, chewing up all her expensive scenery.

What you might not know is that every ten years, Tamarie creates a Greatest Hits show, featuring the best moments from a decade of really great moments with a ridiculous new script and a couple brand-spanking new songs to tie the whole thing together. 

The very first Tamalalia, premiered in a two-night stand on the tiny Orange Show stage in the summer of 1996. This summer marks a major milestone: 30 dang years of all-new Tamarie Cooper Shows. (World premiere.)

Seriously, how does Tamarie Cooper not have her own HBO series?– Broadway World
