Not this time! In December of 2009, accomplished local theatre company Everyman Theatre produced its wildly successful sell-out season of hilarious satire of the modern musical in The Musical of Musicals (The Musical)!
Critics and audiences were unanimous in their praise and demand for more. And so, the show returns to the Canberra Theatre’s Playhouse for one night only on February 5 at 8pm.
Musical of Musicals (The Musical)! is a fabulous five-part cabaret-style musical that honours and spoofs five writers and writing teams that have shaped the modern musical: Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Kander & Ebb.
In this romp that features the acting and singing talents of Louiza Blomfield, Adrian Flor, Hannah Ley and Jarrad West, one story becomes five delightful musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a different master of the form.
June, an ingénue who can’t pay the rent, is threatened by her evil landlord. Will the handsome leading man come to her rescue? Will the older and wiser Abbey provide some much needed advice or lead June to wrack and ruin?
It’s a great night out.
