(PARSIPPANY, NJ) -- The Women’s Theater Company, a professional theater company in Parsippany, NJ, presents Musical of Musicals (The Musical), written by Joanne Bogart and Eric Rockwell. Performances of this hilarious satire of musical theatre run March 24 -April 2 at The Parsippany Playhouse.
One story becomes five delightful musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a different master of the form, from Rodgers and 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: a Rodgers & Hammerstein version (set in Kansas in August, complete with a dream ballet), a Sondheim version (featuring the landlord as a tortured artistic genius who slashes the throats of his tenants in revenge for not appreciating his work), a Jerry Herman version; an Andrew Lloyd Webber version and a Kander & Ebb version set in a speakeasy in Chicago).
The Musical of Musicals (The Musical), stars Patricia Durante, Scott McGowan, Jenna Ravenda, Zach Mazouat. Producing Artistic Director Barbara Krajkowski, Director/Choreographer Lauren Moran Mills, Musical Director Deborah Martin.
