Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens Act 2 Productions will be staging their first Musical: Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens, on 19th - 22nd May 2004 at the Weston Auditorium on the De Haviland Campus, University of Hertfordshire. Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens is an interactive, high-energy musical set in a futuristic cabaret bar where glam-rock meets disco, Rocky Horror meets Return to the Forbidden Planet, Blake’s Seven meets Charlie’s Angels. The action is set in Saucy Jack’s Cabaret Bar, a seedy pick-up joint on Frottage III, a planet renowned for attracting the low-life of the universe who conduct their illicit business to the sound of the most dazzling disco music on this or any other side of the galaxy. But events have recently taken a nasty turn – the stars of Saucy Jack’s cabaret are being systematically murdered by a vicious serial killer whose calling card is a sequinned slingback shoe thrust into the victim’s chest. Despite the carnage at Saucy Jack’s, the show must go on, and tonight the bar is full of colourful characters. This is a job for the stunning, sexy and sassy Space Vixens, a trio of Intergalactic crime-fighting space cops whose mission it is to uncover the identity of the Slingback Killer and save the inhabitants of Saucy Jack’s through the power of a disco beat. Saucy Jack & The Space Vixens promises a dazzling mix of science-fiction settings, fabulous costumes and sensational musical numbers, including ‘Glitterboots Saved My Life’, ‘Let Me Be a Space Vixen’, ‘Plastic Leather and Love’ and ‘All I Need Is Disco’ to name but a few. The style is high-camp, clichés abound, and smothering of Best of British innuendo that would do the Carry On team proud. Queer theatre and feminism interrelate with unsubtle allusions to cult hits such as Gloria Gaynor’s anthem to female independence, ‘I Will Survive’, injecting a dose of postmodernism into this spoof murder mystery.
