Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy)
“Like Handel only funnier.”
Not The Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy) is a comic oratorio based on Monty Python's Life of Brian, which retells the tragic tale of Mandy, impregnated by a Roman soldier, giving birth to Brian, a reluctant revolutionary of the People's Front of Judea who falls in love with Judith, gets mistaken for a Messiah and is arrested by the Romans and sentenced to be crucified. It ranges in reference from Handel, through a naughty Mozart duet, to the Festival of Nine Carols, Bob Dylan, and the classic finale "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".
A riotous, operatic send-up of religious dogma and historical narratives. Expect high-energy musical numbers, absurd situations, and the signature anarchic wit of Monty Python. Perfect for a group that loves to laugh at the ridiculous.
