Throwaway Current Productions Musical of Musicals
The Musical of Musicals: The Musical! (2008)

Music by Eric Rockwell

Lyrics by Joanne Bogart

Book by Eric Rockwell & Joanne Bogart

June can’t pay her rent. Her story is presented in the style of five of Broadway’s leading songwriters such as the deliciously corny Rodgers and Hammerstein, the oh-so-clever Sondheim and the key change king, Lloyd Webber.

Heightened emotions and belted last notes are packed into one hysterical show that lovingly sends up everyone’s favourite art form. Featuring five shows for the price of one, The Musical of Musicals, The Musical! is a brilliant cocktail of great songs and gags. This exciting production marks the piece’s Edinburgh Fringe premiere.

 

“Could have come straight off Broadway...Chicago with added razzle dazzle"
**** Three Weeks on The Fix (2005)

"Charming! Funny! Hits its target with sophisticated affection! Refreshing!"
John Simon, New York Magazine
