A musically musical musical inspired by the musical writers that brought us musicals<br />
sponsored by Marion Rich | community partner Cherie Willard<br />
I can’t pay the rent! You must pay the rent! I’ll pay the rent!<br />
From this humble, classic American plot come not one,<br />
not three, but FIVE musical adaptations as though they<br />
were written by five of the most influential musical theatre<br />
writers or writing teams of all time. There is a Rodgers &<br />
Hammerstein version, set in Kansas in August, complete with<br />
a dream ballet; a Sondheim version, featuring the landlord<br />
as a tortured artistic genius who slashes the throats of his<br />
tenants in revenge for not appreciating his work; a Jerry<br />
Herman version, as a splashy star vehicle; an Andrew Lloyd<br />
Webber version, a rock musical with themes borrowed from<br />
Puccini; and a Kander & Ebb version, set in a speakeasy in<br />
Chicago. This hilarious musical pays loving tribute to the<br />
traditions of musical theatre while mercilessly lampooning<br />
them to shreds. The irreverent finale to our season was the<br />
longest-running show in the York <strong>Theatre</strong>’s history prior to its<br />
extended off-Broadway run.<br />
