Since 1997, award-winning San Francisco lyricist - playwright - singer - dancer - actor - comedian - director and "musical
comedy cabaret porn star" Tom Orr (photo, right, by Duane Cramer) has been entertaining Bay Area audiences
with his smart, satirical parodies, i.e. Dirty
Little Showtunes!, his critically-acclaimed, crowd-pleasing cult hit revue
that has enjoyed successful productions in San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago,
Houston & the 2006 Minneapolis Fringe Festival, won a Bay Area Theatre
Critics award and was called “perhaps the gayest show ever!” (Bay Area
Reporter).Variously called "the Lenny Bruce of musical parody" and "the love child of Al Parker and Dorothy Parker," Orr is well-known for baring all (or nearly all) in his bawdy burlesque turns in Dirty Little Showtunes!, Howard Crabtree's Whoop-Dee-Doo!; his previous solo acts, Sweet Parody! and Of Me I Sing, Baby!; as "The Perky Little Porn Star" in Naked Boys Singing! (2000 San Francisco and 2001 Provincetown casts); as well as for quirky quick-change character work in G-rated fare such as The Fantasticks, Mack & Mabel, Li'l Abner, One Touch of Venus, Pardon My English, Plain & Fancy, Shopping! The Musical, Simply Sondheim: A 75th Birthday Salute, Trog! and Coco, opposite Andrea Marcovicci, who lovingly dubbed Orr a “scene-stealing whore.” He also made a splash in the infamous shower scenes of the 2007 summer hit Take Me Out at NCTC.
Successfully conquering an unfortunate crystal meth addiction three years ago, Orr/Lazzari has become an outspoken advocate in the fight against speed use in the gay community, writing songs about his recovery and contributing his time and talents to a variety of outreach campaigns, including the Stonewall Project and Tweaker.org's "Hot Sex Without Crystal? Hell Yeah!" and Better World Advertising's "Resist Meth" sites.
Now, with dozens of dirty little ditties in his risqué repertoire, Orr has reunited with his original Dirty Little Showtunes! collaborators, director F. Allen Sawyer and musical director Scrumbly Koldewyn, to build a new cabaret show, I Feel A Thong Coming On!, made up of his filthiest, funniest, raunchiest and bawdiest Broadway parodies, with provocative lyrics set to familiar melodies from such shows as Aida, The Producers, Annie, Oklahoma!, Hello, Dolly!, Gypsy, Funny Girl, Hairspray, The Music Man, My Fair Lady, West Side Story, Babes in Arms, The Wizard of Oz, Disney & more, all with a XXX twist! With biting wit and sharp social commentary on everything from celebrity culture to gay marriage to prurient takes on sex, politics, leather, drag and porn, I Feel A Thong Coming On! will amuse and arouse for four weeks in August & September to conclude New Conservatory Theatre Center’s 2008 Summer Cabaret Series.
