THE NEWS IN REVUE, the Emmy Award-winning musical satire troupe, will be in residence at the Killington Grand Resort Hotel this fall, performing an all-new edition of their ever-changing musical revue spoofing the people and places in the day’s headlines. The Grand’s Ovations Restaurant will be transformed into a dinner theater where the renowned musical comedy troupe will perform nightly.

Fast paced and side-splittingly funny, each actor plays multiple characters in the course of the 90-minute show, lampooning everyone from A-Rod to Zardari. From Hillary Clinton’s globetrotting escapades to a behind-the-scenes look at life in the Obama White House with the First Grandma as our tour guide, to a ridiculously funny look at the swine flu epidemic as seen by a disheartened swine, THE NEWS IN REVUE promises more laughs than a Sarah Palin interview and will generate even more applause than Dick Cheney leaving office. You can always expect a few surprises because as news stories break, THE NEWS IN REVUE is on the job, producing topical tunes from their uniquely zany perspective.

The group’s newest show is written and created by Nancy Holson, writer/director of the Off-Broadway hit musical BUSH WARS and the co-creator/writer of the fabulously funny PARENTING 101”, which is playing to standing ovations across the country. The talented New York cast includes long-time THE NEWS IN REVUE favorite Jay Falzone, who is joined by Stephen Smith, Melodye Brandt and Alison Friedman. Jeremy Randall will preside at the piano.

Centrally located between Rutland and Woodstock, the Killington Grand Resort Hotel is an easy drive for leaf-peeping visitors to the region. The theater is located at Ovations Restaurant and will feature a specially designed three-course prix-fixed menu. Ovations Restaurant, a proud member of the Vermont Fresh Network, features locally grown seasonal ingredients in their distinctive cuisine.

A longtime part-time resident and homeowner in Killington, Holson notes of Killington in the fall, “The area is awash with tourists, soaking up the natural beauty and Vermont’s unique charm. In talking to the locals, it became obvious to me that the only thing that is missing from Killington in the fall is entertainment.” Holson had one of those light bulb moments. “It hit me that it would be a great idea to bring my troupe from New York to perform at Killington for the foliage season. I love the idea of being part of the scene in a place that is my second home. I think that locals and tourists alike are going to be blown away when they see the quality of the show we are bringing to Killington.” Ms. Holson is grateful for the local show of support by the way of sponsorship from the Killington Economic and Tourism Development Council.

Public performances will begin Thursday, September 24th and continue through Sunday, October 11th. Shows will be performed nightly except Mondays. The special dinner/show package is $49.95 per person, with dinner starting at 6:00 p.m. . Performance-only tickets ($30) are also available. Wine, beer, cocktails, coffee and an array of sinful desserts will be available for purchase.
