| ALZHEIMER'S, ALZHEIMER'S CHA CHA CHA..... a cabaret of sorts Edinburgh’s favorite senile stripper, Lynn Ruth Miller, now 76 years old, is back with a two act collection of outrageous parodies that reveal the real joy of aging. Don’t miss this 90 minute travesty of song and dance featuring the festival show stealer for the past three Fringe Festivals, winner of the 2008 Three Weeks Editors Award and 2009 Brighton’s Latest Magazine’s Star of the Festival Award. This is musical comedy at its worst proving that even though your body parts drop to your ankles, they still can move with enough zest raise an eyebrow if nothing else. In 2008, her antics hit the headlines of The London Times and now she is back again with another off-key cabaret show that glorifies old age and revels in the disasters it brings to the human form. Gleefully sticking two fingers up to all expectations of how a 75-year-old should behave, Lynn Ruth Miller serves up a unique, life-affirming variety act. From the opening burlesque number, in which she strips down to her antique undergarments, this tiny ball of tireless enthusiasm simply celebrates human existence, free of any concept of embarrassment…. an act of belated rebellion against the invisibility of older people, deriding the nursing- home mentality and celebrating the joys of Spandex and sparkle. -Steve Bennett; Chortle, 2009 Show Information: At MELT!
