As with every marriage, Kitten N’ Lou’s best-laid plans are subject to the twists and turns of life. KITTEN N' LOU: OVEREXPOSED! opens as the "fluorescent Fred and Ginger" attempt to navigate the reality of performing an evening-length spectacular with only two performers. Ultimately, they must confront the reality of what it means to be “just us” -- an unconventional couple finding their way in the convention of marriage. This mélange of cabaret acts employs glitter and glitz not only to entertain, but to reveal. How do two individuals deal with an existential crisis of post-wedding married life? Where does the showbiz end and real life begin? And who is responsible for packing the glitter?
