Minnie The Moocher

Flashpoint
916 G St NW Washington

This cautionary tale follows an innocent small town girl named Minnie who moves to Harlem and falls victim to the dangerous, decadent, and seductive world of sex, drugs, and jazz. This original tale is loosely adapted from songs made famous by Cab Calloway in the 1920s and 1930s and features ten songs played by a live, eight-piece jazz band. This production includes three new, never before heard (and seen!) songs, so that audiences old and new will find something to love about the show.

"...Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be trapped in a old cartoon? One of those aggressively manic black-and-white pieces where everything has a face and bounces along to the music? Wonder no more. With Cab Calloway's Minnie the Moocher, Pointless Theatre Company brings those cartoons to riotous, overwhelming, jazz-fueled life."

For a fast blast to the past of a speak-easy, a cool jazzy set is swinging at the Flashpoint Mead Theatre Lab. With creative and stylistic verve, Pointless Theatre has organized the songs made famous by Cab Calloway in a back-story bringing the characters to life with cartoonish flair.
