WHEN SHE SMILES
LYSISTRATA JONES
Composer: Music and Lyrics Lewis Flinn
Production/Performer History: Broadway 2011 (Josh Segarra)
Context: Mick’s plans to seduce the nerdy Robin in an attempt to win a sexual war go out the window when he realises he has real feelings for her.
Choice: Lysistrata Jones updates the Lysistrata story to a college basketball team and their cheerleaders. The sexual politics are still there, just with more of a Clueless spin on it. Contemporary and lots of fun.
