About the Show

A campy, 80-minute parody of The Parent Trap, written and directed by Kevin Zak.

This parody reimagines the 1998 film The Parent Trap. Set in the summer of 1998, it follows a pair of long-lost, red-headed twin girls who unexpectedly meet at sleep-away camp and devise a plan to reunite their estranged parents. This outlandish and wildly inappropriate send up brings nostalgia, camp, and unexpected twists to the stage.

The production is both written and directed by Kevin Zak, known for his work as a comedian and Lucille Lortel-nominated actor. The play is produced by Preston Whiteway, Jenny Steingart, and Mandy Hackett, with general management by Andy Jones of Baseline Theatrical.

Critic Reviews (8)

" 'Ginger Twinsies' is pretty much 80 straight minutes of raucous laughter. The jokes are neverending and they’re never dull, especially when Taratula, as Meredith, is on stage."

"The entire off-its-rocker off-Broadway show, whose sole sin is occasionally trying too hard, is lovably loony."

"Zak’s 80 minutes of art by algorithm proves more exhausting than invigorating"

"I laughed at this hailstorm of gags about two-thirds of the time, which, for this type of frolic, is pretty darned good."

"From start to finish, all of the above occurs at a non-stop pace, directed by playwright Zak according to what seems like his conviction that he alone knows precisely the property’s demands."

"an outrageous, campy gay stage parody of the 1998 Lindsay Lohan remake of 'The Parent Trap'"

The jokes and references all zoom by — which is perhaps just as well given that the percentage of punchlines that actually hit the funny bone is relatively low. (Your smileage may vary.)
