Arts Center at Dunham [West Price Hill]

Directed by Dennis Murphy
Music directed by Linda Abbott

Cast: Lisa Breithaupt, Nicholas Dunker, Logan Dunn, Bob Kelley, Dana Kisor, Kent Smith & Virginia Venegas

In this hilarious satire of musical theater, one story becomes five delightful musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a different master of the form. 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 inspired by Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Kander & Ebb. This comic valentine to musical theatre was the longest-running show in the York Theatre Company’s 35-year history before moving off-Broadway.
