Lysistrata-Jones

What's this?  A brand new musical opening on Broadway this fall without star casting and that isn't based on a movie or a superhero?

Ok, that's not exactly true.

Lysistrata may be one of the greatest superheros of all.

And she's been resurrected in Lysistrata Jones, the brand new musical about "faith, hoops and chasity" by Douglas Carter Beane and Lewis Flinn and Directed and Choreographed by Dan Knechtges.

You might remember LJ from the cross the board set of raves it got early this summer.  Well, she's on the Varsity Team on Broadway now . . . and we've got two free tickets to give away!

Here's how to win your two tickets to Lysistrata Jones on Broadway:
