How does one say no to a good old fashioned “body switch” comedy? The answer is you don’t and “Under My Skin” delivers. Written by the team of Prudence Fraser and Robert Sternin (of “The Nanny” fame), the play opens at the offices of big health insurance corporation where arrogant CEO Harrison Badish III (Matt Walton) barks around orders and self-flattery, as his employees try their best to accommodate his outlandish desires. He gets stuck in an elevator with coffee-carrier Melody Dent (Kerry Butler) who as luck would have it dies with him as their transport equipment comes crashing down fourteen floors.

After arriving to the afterlife they plead their case with an incompetent angel (Dierdre Friel) who sends them back to Earth but makes a mistake, leading them to wake up in each other’s bodies. Instead of making the gender-bending twist somewhat subtler, the director goes straight for comedic effect as we see the tall Walton wearing heels and dress, while Butler dons a suit and tie as well as polished dress shoes. As Harrison and Melody begin to freak out, wondering how they can fix things, the writers insert a good dose of social comedy, as Harrison is forced to live as the 99%, realizing the effects his greed have on the world around him.

You can see how events will unfold from a mile away, but this doesn’t interfere with the show’s good natured comedy and its somewhat naive takes on sexual politics. Butler and Walton are both attractive enough to make for great leads, but it’s the supporting players who rightfully own the show, especially Kate Loprest as Harrison’s uptight fiancée and a delicious Megan Sikora who plays Nanette, Melody’s oversexed best friend who celebrates gleefully when she realizes her best friend has taken over the body of a man she desires (“friends with benefits?” she suggests).

Directed by Kirsten Sanderson and featuring great set design by Stephen Dobay, “Under My Skin” is an enjoyable farce which intends nothing more than to deliver a few laughs and a positive message.
