The award-winning Transport Group has lately been living up to its name, presenting site-specific revival of such works as The Boys in the Band and Hello Again in lofts in Chelsea and Soho respectively. Their latest production, Lysistrata Jones, makes even cannier use of an unconventional space. This musical updating of Aristophanes’ comedy concerns a group of high school women who decide to withhold sex from their boyfriends on the perennially losing Athens University basketball team until they win a game. So where better to mount the show on than on the basketball court of the Judson Memorial Church gymnasium? 

The fact that the church boasts a long and storied Off-Broadway history adds additional resonance to this cheekily entertaining diversion featuring a book by Douglas Carter Beane and music and lyrics by Lewis Flinn.

Resembling a special-themed episode of Glee, the show is more notable for the charged energy of its youthful ensemble than its creative elements. And it wears out its comedic welcome long before the conclusion of its two hour-plus running time.

Still, there’s fun to be had, beginning with the outrageous presence of the big-bodied Liz Mikel as the show’s acerbic narrator, Hetaira. Beane’s book, gleaning most of its vulgar humor from the overcharged sex drives of both the male and female characters, has a suitably burlesque quality. And while the score boasts few memorable songs, such numbers as “Right Now” and the climactic “Give It Up!” display a raucous energy.

Director Dan Knechtges (Xanadu, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) keeps things moving at an enjoyably frantic pace, and his choreography, influenced by both cheerleading routines and basketball court moves, is consistently inventive.

Among the ensemble, the standouts are Patti Murin, who provides just the right amount of perky sexiness as the title character; Jason Tam, very amusing as her unlikely, social media-obsessed love interest; and Josh Segarra, goofily endearing as the head jock.
