After Grandma Porkalob’s birthday party karaoke antics, you’ll never hear “House of the Rising Sun” or “Gangsta’s Paradise” the same way again. Broadway star Sara Porkalob belts out the funny and fearless tale of her Filipino gangster family’s sordid and often laugh-out-loud past in a musical that will have all generations buzzing. Each pitch-perfect performance is more transcendent than the last, garnering Sara the title of “POWERHOUSE…a FORCE and a PHENOMENON” (Boston Globe). Now, it’s Pittsburgh’s turn to bask in the Porkalob experience with Sara, Grandma Maria, and the countless characters who made their matriarchy really “sing.”
Rated R/MA (mature audience) for adult language and themes. Recommended for ages 17+ and parental guidance for younger audiences.
