Beautopia:A Face Odyssey (Spring 2013)
The Original Soundtrack Recording of the 125th Annual Production

Tired of the economic turmoil, social injustices, and lack of pizzazz that define our current era? Then come join the Mask and Wig Club as we jettison you into the future. Desperate to be remembered for solving the world's problems, a delivery boy en route to Antarctica is frozen in a block of ice. He wakes up to find that in the future all of the world's problems have been solved, and that he isn't remembered for anything at all. But, there is more to this pretty new future than meets the eye. An evil dictator has established a hierarchy based on appearance, where the attractive citizens exploit the ugly. Reinvigorated by the promise of becoming remembered, our hero sets about showing the future that if you never dig beneath the surface, all you are is shallow.

A Reptile Dysfunction (Spring 2012)
The Original Soundtrack Recording of the 124th Annual Production

Just when you thought the stocks couldn't get any worse, Mask and Wig catapults you back to an era when money was tight and the thumbscrews were tighter in its 124th Annual Production, "A Reptile Dysfunction." Enter a totalitarian kingdom where it's the last straw for a town of revolutionary peasants hungry for change - or at least more straw. When the king finally un-ignores the townspeople's misery, he does the the only reasonable and prudent thing he can: stage a fake dragon-slaying to dupe the masses into accepting a world where fairy tales exist and everyone lives happily ever after. But when a rivalry between the prince and his identical twin breaks out over the right to the throne, the royal family's plan unravels, leaving the town with a tale as old as time turned on its head.

The Mask and Wig Club takes its patrons back to one of the most inspirational, creative, and reasonable places in history: Florence, Italy during the Renaissance. Michelangelo is the new up-and-coming artist in Florence, while Leonardo Da Vinci is the perennial powerhouse Renaissance man. But Leo's girlfriend Mona Lisa smooches Mike in public, making the front page of the tabloids! Suddenly, Mike is widely successful and Leo has fallen from his perch. However, the political genius Machiavelli, seeing that Da Vinci is down and out, offers his help as an art agent. Almost overnight Da Vinci's paintings are selling for mega-florins again and Mike is just a passing fad. But all is not as it seems. What shifty business is Machiavelli up to? What is Mike up against? Paints, plots, and the classical beauty of our eight-"girl" kickline, all in this year's Mask and Wig masterpiece: "Oh, the Humanities!"
