The Show: One story becomes five delightful musicals, each spoofed in a distinctive theatrical style. The basic plot: June is an ingénue who can't pay the rent and is threatened by her evil landlord. Will the handsome leading man come to the rescue? The Rodgers & Hammerstein version is set in Kansas in August, complete with a dream ballet. The Sondheim version features the landlord as a tortured artistic genius who slashes the throats of his tenants. The Jerry Herman version is a splashy star vehicle. The Andrew Lloyd Webber rock musical version borrows themes from Puccini. Finally a Kander & Ebb version is set in a Chicago speakeasy. This comic musical valentine was the longest running show in the York Theatre Company's 35-year history before moving to Off-Broadway. Hilarious! Director/Choreographer, Dennis Murphy; Musical Director Mark Femia
