The Luv Show is an album by the American musician Ann Magnuson.[2] It was released in 1995 on Geffen Records.[3][4] Magnuson later developed a stage production based on the album.[5]
The Hamilton Spectator called the album "a hoot from start to finish, a hilariously horny musical about a small-town girl who gets the education of her life when she arrives in Hollywood."[9]The New York Times deemed it "a quirky, 50's-styled concept album."[10] The Calgary Herald wrote that "Magnuson plays the raving bimbo one moment and the poetic Jungian the next, crafting a hilarious song cycle that sways from lounge, surf punk and artsy East-side New York dope-rock without losing your attention."[7]
