'The Gong Show' comes to area

Fresh off a three-year smash run in New York City, The Gong Show Off Broadway comes to Mayo Performing Arts Center on Thursday, May 9 at 8 p.m.
Part musical, part comedy, part parody, part homage, this is the theatrical adaptation of the "greatest TV show in human history." The show features a permanent cast of mind-blowing talent, curated from around the globe. While these talented eccentrics battle it out for the coveted prize of $516.32, they are dedicated to the point of obsession to astonishing and delighting every member of the studio audience. You are that studio audience. Pull up a chair, then fall off it laughing.
The Gong Show stars Ray Ellin (HBO), Chuck Nice (Today Show, Comedy Central), Brian Scott McFadden (Comedy Central) and Leslie Gold (Fox), and features Yodeling Milkmaids, Singing Spoons, Dancing Goats, Unimaginable Contortionists, Interpretive Dancing Superheros, Robot Strippers, Hollywood Lushes, Heavy Metal Ballooniacs, Fire-Throwing Gypsy Women, Master Illusionists, Waacking Dance Champions, Speedo Wearing Manbabies, Russian Sword Balancers, The Unknown Convict, Teen Gene the Dancing Machine, Three Nuns, One Jew and a Medium.
It's audience approved. It's acclaim drenched. It's world-class hilarious. It's brilliantly directed. It's impeccably produced. It's the Sony Pictures Television authorized stage production.
