Tomfoolery
Aurora Fox Arts Center
Aurora, CO
Throughout the 1950’s & ’60s, Harvard educated math nerd, Tom Lehrer, delighted millions of fans with his dry & cynical, but still good-humored attacks on hot-button social issues of the day (Sound familiar?) like racism, pollution, the military, and even the Boy Scouts. Brilliant newcomer, Mosés Brown, and Colorado favorites, Tim Howard, Valerie Igoe & Corey Exline, will perform some of Lehrer’s best-loved songs & schtick like “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park,” “When You are Old and Grey,” “The Masochism Tango,” “The Old Dope Peddler,” and an unforgettable Gilbert and Sullivan-esque recitation of the table of elements, all linked together with Tom’s own inimitable concert patter.
