Join us on the MainStage for a fun musical comedy that begins with a theater-loving narrator, the "Man in Chair," playing his favorite cast recording. As the record spins, a 1920s musical springs to life in his apartment. The show-within-a-show follows a wedding disrupted by gangsters, mistaken identities and a tipsy chaperone. Hilarious and heartfelt, it’s both a loving parody and a tribute to the magic of classic musicals.
Music & Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison
Book by Bob Martin and Bob McKellar
Directed by Hayley Bowker and Jacob Pointon
