entertainment for theater aficionados, music lovers and people who just
love to laugh, this show uses a basic plot and plays it five different
ways. 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? How
would Rodgers and Hammerstein, Jerry Herman, Stephen Sondheim, Kander
and Ebb and Andrew Lloyd Webber have told the tale? Five unique
presentational styles make <i>Musical of Musicals the Musical</i> a fun filled evening for all. Adult themes require a PG-13 rating.</span></div>

twists and turns punctuate this surprise filled evening of mystery and
mayhem. A thriller writer indulges in bitter word duels with his
estranged wife until she shoots him. An amateur detective from the next

the audience has it figured out, the action veers unexpectedly keeping
everyone on the edge of their seats. It’s a not to be missed
experience. </span></div>

audiences flocked to see this show in Chicago (where it became that
city's longest running show), in Philadelphia (where it broke attendance
records during its two runs) and in cities across the country. Focusing
on eight children during their Catholic elementary and high school
education in the 1950s, it captures the funniest aspects of youthful
growing pains and the trying moments of adolescence. Every number
tickles the funny bone of anyone who ever went to school, public or
private. Watch the “kids’” growing pains. but bring a hanky to wipe
away the tears that all the laughter will bring!</span></div>
