Musical Of Musicals (The Musical!), The

June can't pay her rent. Her landlord is demanding, her lover is romantic and her friend is bursting with good advice.

In an evening of variations on a theme, this basic plot is musicalised the way Rodgers and Hammerstein might have envisioned it, taking place in Kansas in August, complete with a dream ballet. The story is then recreated in the style of Stephen Sondheim, featuring the landlord as a tortured, artistic genius who slashes the throats of his tenants in revenge because they don't appreciate his art. When presented in the style of Jerry Herman, the story becomes a splashy star vehiclem while the Andrew Lloyd Webber versions is a rock musical, with borrowed themes from Puccini. The story is re-told one last time in the style of Kander and Ebb, set in a speakeasy in Chicago.
