Unique, joyous, foxy and funny, all female troupe, Goddess A Go Go, are bringing comedy to the dance floor.
Their spring show, Goddess A Go Goes Green at the Secret Rose Theatre in North Hollywood is a winning mixture of mirth and moves, performed with perfect comic timing.
These energetic and athletic L.A. ladies perform a series of comedic dances/sketches which leave the audience admiring both their grace and their gags.
A particular highlight is an international ballroom dancing championship “Continent Champions” dance which gets fiercely competitive with hilarious results.
“March Of The Housewives” sees the girls playing bored housewives whose mundane daily routines are mined for comic gold.
With more costume changes than a Cher concert and more laughs per minute than a Robin Williams stand-up show, these Goddesses provide a heavenly night out.

Hart and Kaotar Dee – the women tackle the subjects of war, loss, sexual yearning and oppressive gender roles.

 Strangers In The Night                   2008

    Each of dancers Lisa Younger, Heather Ann Smith, Rhiannon Nicole, Tessa Munro, Barker, Dee and Hart has her own distinct style and flair, but they come together as an ensemble without fracture.

    The show starts off on a funny note that locals will appreciate as each woman competes to become the next “Ms. This Side of the Hill.” Will Ms. Studio City take the crown, or will Ms. Toluca Lake win the honor? Perhaps it will be Ms. Toluca Lake-adjacent? As the piece progresses, more comedy ensues, but lovely moments of poignancy as well as serious snapshots of powerful women at work also two-step their way
into the mix. 

   Barker is the best comedienne of the
bunch with her tell-all facial expressions and sharp sense of humor driving many of the numbers. She’s also a dancer to be reckoned with, as she seems to feel with every ounce of her being the role she is dancing. When she plays a war-wife cling- ing to her absentee-husband’s shirt in His Shirt, we sense her sorrows descend like heavy Seattle rain.
   On a more upbeat note, every woman
in the show gets a laugh when a catwalk- style number finds them striking decid-edly un-sexy poses indicative of everyday womanhood (one woman totes a toilet plunger down the catwalk, while another waxes her lip).
And then there are the numbers that
have nothing to do with comedy or tragedy, but everything to do with bodies in motion. When Hart does a solo tap dance, the energy she creates in the room is palpable. Likewise, when Dee sways her hips in traditional belly-dancer style, the audience is drawn in.
The program for May the Dance Be With You defines the term goddess as “a beautiful woman, who has magical, divine powers.” These women fit that description and their dancing abilities bring us closer to heaven. ✹
