Forecast: Thunder in Latham

Vote 0 Votes Saratoga News & Events
Oh Boy, I fought hard to get this assignment! And in truth, who better to be objective about something like this than someone like me?
Seriously, if this sort of thing is your thing, then you have hit the jackpot, ladies and, well, let's leave it there...
Presenting the mighty, mighty revue that has sizzled on 'The View,' melted the hard-bitten 'Today Show' crew, and de-iced Tyra Banks - yes, it's the "Thunder from Down Under Tour," and it's coming to shake the chandelier off the usually sedate and elegant Michael's Banquet House in Latham.

A Las Vegas staple since 2001, where it has been in residence at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino showroom, the TFDU tour has emulsified estrogen in over 15 countries on every continent save Antarctica (presumably over fears about melting the Polar Icecaps). Their website (www.thunderfromdownunder.com) shows in graphic detail exactly what effects they have on women.

But before you get all crazy, let's be sure you understand what this is and isn't. It isn't porn. While the men in the revue get pretty much down to nothing, they walk up to the line - certainly not over it. The real emphasis should be on all the facets that go into putting on a production like "Thunder", not just the muscles. If you look at the big picture, it is the elaborate staging, choreography, costume changes and outright athleticism involved in performing in one of these revues that should be getting equal billing with the beefcake. I can think of several friends and colleagues who might not want to broadcast it, but they would love to be at Michael's next weekend. So why deny yourself?

It just goes to show that if you stay in the entertainment writing game long enough, you get to preview everything. Of course, this buys me cred to feature the Pussycat Dolls when they come to town.
