The Musical of Musicals
I'm glad I went to the press night of The Musical of Musicals at Sound Theatre last Friday. Despite definitely NOT being a fan of stage musicals, I thought I'd go to support my friend, the show's producer (think Max Bialystock crossed with a Scottish Kenneth Williams).
I was incredibly relieved not to have to pretend to have enjoyed myself, so often the burden of the comp ticket junkie, as the whole thing was terribly clever and absolutely hilarious.
I think I only got around half the references (it affectionately parodies 5 musical writers, including Rodgers & Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim) but it was so skillfully done it didn't seem to make a difference.
It's only on until April 22, so with unashamed bias I thoroughly recommend getting tickets as soon as possible!!
