Soulless, Bloodsucking Lawyers: A Musical!
Toni’s smart, funny play follows an idealistic new attorney through her initiation in to the world of the fictional large corporate law firm of Auburn and Reed. Surrounded by self-important litigators, dancing judges, and money-grubbing senior partners, she struggles to make it in a commercial law firm while staying true to her need to give back to society. The Broadway-style musical features all original music, co-composed by Toni and Shirley Mier. Underpinning the comedy, the play skillfully confronts social questions of ethics vs. money, gender in the workplace, and the lawyers’ role in society. Soulless, Bloodsucking Lawyers: A Musical was the number one best-selling show at the 2003 Minnesota Fringe Festival. The show was also selected by the audience as “Best Musical.” The show played to sold-out houses at the Bryant-Lake Bowl in 2004 and continues to be popular at private functions of every type.
