That version of the show was “delivered as a stand-up routine in a comedy club [on a] stage the size of an envelope, [making] scene changes incredibly hard.”Eventually, a more elaborate, revamped version of the parody made its way to New York and a hit run Off Broadway in 2016. The show has since toured the country and beyond.
