THE BALLAD OF LEFTY & CRABBE
by Brian Huther, Ben Auxier, & Seth Macchi
Lefty & Crabbe are a dynomite vaudeville duo - but when the audiences dry up, they reluctantly turn to a strange new world called "Hollywood."
This fringe production (which won best of venue) was the first iteration of the musical comedy by Brian Huther, Ben Auxier, and Seth Macchi. It would later be produced as a revamped, full-length show in the summer of 2017.
The Ballad of Lefty & Crabbe ran at Living Room in July of 2015 as part of the Kansas City Fringe Festival.
"Get ready to laugh and smile because Brian Huther, Auxier, and Macchi combined their creative minds and talents to write this happy piece...The Ballad of Lefty and Crabbe is one of the most fun shows of the KC Fringe."
- Bob Evans, AXS
