WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
BurgerBoy Productions in association with Kevin Bartlett and Event Horizon Entertainment presents the deep-fried farce Minimum Wage.
Enroll in a crash course of Hamburgerology 101 as the zealous crew of Happy Burger #247 indoctrinates you into the break-neck world of the fast food industry. Learn the art of spatulary, precision grill maintenance, create the perfect grease trap and learn how to disguise the flavor of floor when frying up nuggets that were there only moments ago. Included in the seminar are the pitfalls of bathroom duty and drive-thru etiquette. Be on your way to Employee of the Month in this harmonic musical revue that nails the industry screwing its workers and fattening the public. But we guarantee you won't be suing this production for the fattening laughs! Oh, and Congress just passed a law that says you can't anyway.
The writers, co-composers, creators and two of the performers are brothers Charlie and Jeff LaGreca. Songwriter and co-composer is Sean Altman. David G. Armstrong directs and choreographs.

When I first saw Minimum Wage at the 2002 New York International Fringe Festival, I thought it one of the most refreshingly original musical acts I'd seen in some time. Unfortunately, the show's Off-Broadway transfer lacks the energy and dynamism that made its Fringe run so exciting.
To be sure, several of its songs still delight. The five a cappella singer-actors create enchanting harmonies, lay down their own beats, and provide "instrumentation" by using only their voices. Their theme song remains as catchy as ever; so does the hilarious "Grill," a "boy meets grill" love song in the style of 1980s pop ballads with a little bit of doo-wop thrown in. The rousing anthem "Balls" is another hi[...]
