Dawn hip-hop ditty "Shake," which does indeed involve a fair amount of shaking while Hunt and Mullally command, "Everyone get out of your bodies." Too bad that this show is only two nights in Melbourne. Mullally and Hunt deliver the moves with commitment and sincerity (and just the faintest aftertaste of irony). Nancy is a fictional character in the 1838 novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and its several adaptations for theatre, television and films.

Directed by John Fortenberry. Both are limber as can be to pull this off and it is irresistibly funny. The song works up to a near-operatic finish thanks to the ethereal backup vocals of Petra Haden, who is the breakout star of the evening: She's like a horn section and sound effects machine all rolled into one incredible performer.The other musicians in Nancy And Beth are dexterous keyboardist Datri Bean, dazzling guitarist Sophia Johnson, steady percussionist Joe Berardi, and band manager and bassist Andrew Pressman, who contributes greatly to the surreal banter between songs.It's best not to delve too deeply into the internal logic that makes up this evening of jazz, gospel, country, R&B, super-misogynistic rap, and dance. It has you amazed, laughing, smiling – and moved too – throughout. She is a member of Fagin's gang and the lover, and eventual victim, of Bill Sikes.. As well as Nancy being a thief, a common misapprehension is that she is a prostitute, in the modern sense of the word. Robert's new girlfriend is perfect. Native Oklahoman Mullally particularly shines on the twangier country songs, delivering a surprisingly hefty rendition of the Tammy Wynette number "No Charge," about a mother who squirms out of paying her daughter for the chores she completed by sweetly singing, "For the nine months I carried you growin' inside me, no charge. This is immediately followed by the cute-as-a-button 1958 Doris Day hit "Everybody Loves a Lover." Megan Mullally Reveals the Future of Nancy And Beth, ... with P.M.

The sultry Rachel Sweet song "Please Mister Jailer" from the John Waters movie Mullally illustrates this eclectic set list with her original choreography: The combination of limp wrists, chair acrobatics, and plenty of shoulder action gives us knockoff Fosse the likes of which one rarely sees outside of a middle school dance competition. What Ms Mullally means is that this now highly polished show began in 2011 with Ms Mullally and Stephanie Hunt fooling around – with a ukulele apparently – finding they loved the same songs and that their voices blended, and slowly developing Dressed identically in pink track suits, big glasses and identical hair styles – bunches on top – Ms Mullally and Ms Hunt lope onto the stage like twins (despite a thirty year age difference) an impression somehow of two clowns, enhanced by the intricate, kooky choreography (by Ms Mullally) in which each mirrors the other’s movements, accompanying their songs and at times providing ironic – or suggestive – comment on them. At the end of this number, Ms Mullally quips that she doesn’t like erotic choreography and so ‘I just skipped right through to gross’.There’s really no apparent structure or logic to the proceedings. Their eclectic repertoire of songs ranges from that old happy Doris Day hit, ‘Everybody Loves a Lover’ through to Wynona Carr’s ‘Please, Mr Jailer’, to Gucci Mane’s pretty dirty, ‘I Don’t Love Her’ and all the way to some ‘spirituals’ sung absolutely straight, beautifully and with no send-up at all.
