NERDS

Woz and Steve Jobs

The Philadelphia Theatre Company located at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre, 17^th and Lombard Streets, is producing NERDS through December 29.  Having had its world premiere with the Philadelphia Theatre Company in 2007, NERDS received two Barrymore Awards and is back, updated, and stronger than ever with eye-popping visuals,  saucy quips, exhilarating choreography and a cameo appearance of Steve Wozniak’s favorite Segway. NERDS is a satirical look at the travails of rivals Bill Gates and Steve Jobs from their early inventions in a garage and the hoodwinking of a fellow “nerd” for the rights to an operating system to the rarified ranks of millionaires and billionaires  The show is peppered with pizzazz and includes some gut-wrenching moments, all expressed though the electrifying songs performed by Stanley Bahorek as Bill Gates, Matt Bradley as Steve Jobs, Briana Carlson-Goodman as Sally, and Lexy Fridell as Myrtle in addition to performances by the entire company.  Whether or not you were ever a nerd, you must see this funny, delightful, feel-good musical parody.  For more information or tickets, call 215-985-0420 or visit online at PhiladelphiaTheatreCompany.org
