See the characters from the popular novel in a new light as they sing through this comedy. The Leach Theatre performance is a stop in the show’s tour of Canada, the United States and Australia. The unauthorized musical satire of E. L. James’ novel premiered in 2012. In 2013, it was the world’s No. 1 musical parody. The performance has been called “A sexy, hysterical, rip-roaring good time… Wildly entertaining,” by the Toronto Stage and “A well-written comedy not to be missed,” by the Oakland Press.
