As every good Houstonian knows, Tamarie Cooper creates another in a series of wholly original, full-scale musicals every summer - a Houston institution with a cult following - featuring wildly irreverent scripts, riotously funny songs, wackadoodle dances, spectacular sets, large casts of quadruple-threat performers, a small but mighty band, and, of course, Houston’s own Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, and Bugs Bunny rolled into one, the undefeated champion of ass-clownery, Tamarie Cooper, co-star Kyle Sturdivant forever at her side, chewing up all her expensive scenery.

What you might not know is that every 10 years, Tamarie creates a Greatest Hits show, featuring the best moments from a decade of really great moments with a ridiculous new script and a couple brand-spanking new songs to tie the whole thing together.

The very first Tamalalia, premiered in a two-night stand on the tiny Orange Show stage in the summer of 1996. 2026 marks a major milestone: 30 dang years of all-new Tamarie Cooper Shows.

This production is making its world premiere.
