Gennifer Flowers sings Ruth Wallis' "All The Clowns" in Boobs! ...Choreographed by Lawrence Leritz

This beautiful lyrical ballad was written by legendary singer/songwriter Ruth Wallis for the long running Off-Broadway hit show, Boobs! The Musical. Lawrence Leritz produced and choreographed. Gennifer Flowers starred in the opening of the transferred production at Dillon's Theatre. Also starring in the clip are Katie Pees and dancing are Alena Watters (Broadway's "The Addams Family") & Benji Randall.
Boobs! The Musical: The World According to Ruth Wallis is a musical revue with lyrics and music by 1950s and 1960s star Ruth Wallis. Using 23 of Wallis' songs combined with comedy skits, Boobs! also told the story of Ruth Wallis' international career and struggles in performing her naughty songs. Boobs! The Musical opened at the Triad Theater in New York City on May 19, 2003 to critical praise and eventually transferred to Dillon's Reprise Room; by closing date it had played nearly 300 performances. It had subsequent long runs in New Orleans (2004) and Wichita (2005). Also notable were the costumes by J. Kevin Draves ("Sex And The City") and Robert Pease ("Third Watch") and the set by Emmy winner Eric Harriz ("All My Children"). Book by Steve Mackes and Michael Whaley. Donna Drake ("Chorus Line") directed. Boobs! The Musical won the 2005 New Orlean's Big Easy Award & Ambie Award and Lawrence Leritz was nominated for the 2004 Mac Awards for Best Musical Revue.
Boobs! first had a workshop at The Pulse Ensemble Theatre on the Off Broadway 42nd Street Theatre Row in Dec. 2000. Various notable cast members from the three New York productions included J. Robert Spencer ("Next To Normal", "Jersey Boys"), Jenny-Lynn Suckling ( "Fosse", "The Producers" ), Robert Hunt ("Les Miz") , Kristy Cates ("Wicked") , Clyde Alves ("Music Man") , Alena Watters ("The Addams Family)", Brad Bradley ("Spamalot") , and the New York theatre debut of Gennifer Flowers.

THE NEW YORK TIMES: "The six-person cast is expertly choreographed by Lawrence Leritz"

SHOWBUSINESS: "The show is actually clean as a whistle- we supply the dirty minds it takes to finish their jokes. The real boobs are in the audience. This formula of mock surprise and genuine hilarity works wonders for the show. For Boobs! more than any other production I've seen off-Broadway or Broadway do the offstage figures deserve commendation. The cast brings comic ability and good singing voices, but they are enhanced by Robert Pease's and J. Kevin Draves' phenomenal costumes and Lawrence Leritz's choreography and musical staging are exceptional-flawless."
