Join the HSE Thespian Troupe 520 in the Little Theatre as they present their spring show "The Musical of Musicals: The Musical"

.

FROM CONCORD THEATRICALS: The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!) is a musical about musicals! In this hilarious satire of musical theatre, one story becomes five delightful musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a different master of the form, from Rodgers & Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim. The basic plot: June is an ingenue who can’t pay the rent and is threatened by her evil landlord. Will the handsome leading man come to the rescue? The variations are: CORN!, a Rodgers & Hammerstein version, set in Kansas in August, complete with a dream ballet; A LITTLE COMPLEX, a Sondheim version, featuring the landlord as a tortured artistic genius who plots to slash the throats of his tenants in revenge for not appreciating his work; DEAR ABBY!, a Jerry Herman version, as a splashy star vehicle; ASPECTS OF JUNITA, an Andrew Lloyd Webber version, a rock musical with themes borrowed from Puccini; and SPEAKEASY, a Kander & Ebb version, set in a speakeasy in Chicago. Before it moved off-Broadway, this comic valentine to musical theatre was the longest-running show in the York Theatre Company’s 35-year history.
