FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

I’m so excited to welcome you to the Grand eatre’s production of e Musical of Musicals ( e Musical!). I’ve loved this show for a long time due to its fast and hilarious pace, clever writing, and brilliant parodying. is show takes everything we love about musical theatre and turns it on its head. Following June, an ingénue struggling to pay rent, plagued by her evil landlord, encouraged by her wise neighbor, and potentially saved by the leading man, this one simple story undertakes several variations of five delightful musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a different composer. From Rodgers and Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim, you’re in for a hilarious ride!

If you enjoy this production, please spread the word to your family and friends. Like, follow, and share us on social media. Want to stay even more up to date on our shows and special events? Download e Grand App, free on the App Store or Google Play, where you will be the first to get audition announcements, special behind the scenes interviews with the cast and production staff, directly purchase tickets, and more!

THE MUSICAL OF MUSICALS (THE MUSICAL!)

DIRECTOR'S NOTE Welcome to Musical Of Musicals: e Musical!

Where else can you get five musicals for the price of one? And all with the same plot!

Sound tedious? Nope! In the hands of skilled creators Joanne Bogart and Eric Rockwell, we are taken on a whirlwind tour through the worlds of five of the greatest composers and lyricists (both teams and individuals) of the Broadway stage.

First, we step into the optimistically cock-eyed world of Rodgers and Hammerstein where love conquers all, dreams come to life, and every older woman is loaded with more sage wisdom than is humanly possible.

Next, we delve into the brilliantly twisted genius of Stephen Sondheim. Here, the lyrics are sophisticated and cryptic, the melodies are algebraic, and the characters are one passenger short of a full subway. It begs the question: Profound? Or unsound? e third installment leaps into the glitz and glamour of Jerry Herman. It’s all about living large and celebrating every second of every minute of every hour of every day of…well, you get the idea. If it has sequins, bubbles, feathers, or sparkles, you’re sure to find it here! en, the grandeur and sweep of “ e” Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber overtakes the stage. In his world, nothing is le unelevated. So, whether it’s cats, phantoms, first ladies, prophets, divas, or train cars, it’s bound to be passionate, dramatic, and rock operatic…and perhaps a little familiar-sounding.

Finally, it’s a descent into the underground realm of Kander and Ebb. Always gritty, grimy and a little bit naughty, the tour will take us to a German cabaret, a women’s prison, a men’s prison, and naturally…a touch of Vegas. If Liza Minnelli and Bob Fosse had a baby, it would live here.

And just when you thought it was all over, there’s one more trick up its sleeve. (You’re welcome, Marvin Hamlisch.)

So for lovers and haters of musical theatre alike, IT’S SHOWTIME! Jim Christian Director
