The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!) is a musical about musicals! In this hilarious satire of musical theatre, one story becomes five delightful musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a different master of the form, from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim. The basic plot: 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? The variations are: a Rodgers & Hammerstein version, set in Kansas in August, complete with a dream ballet; a Sondheim version, featuring the landlord as a tortured artistic genius who slashes the throats of his tenants in revenge for not appreciating his work; a Jerry Herman version, as a splashy star vehicle; an Andrew Lloyd Webber version, a rock musical with themes borrowed from Puccini; and a Kander & Ebb version, set in a speakeasy in Chicago.

Reviews

Don Grigwire of BroadwayWorld raves "If you love the irreverance of Forbidden Broadway with its pokes and jabs at Broadway musical shows, you will adore the ultra satirical The Musical of Musicals, The Musical!"

Steven Stanley of StageSceneLA raves "Director Kristin Towers-Rowles demonstrates supreme imagination (and an encyclopedic knowledge of musical theater) in bringing Rockwell & Bogart's book, music, and lyrics to sparkling, highly visual life, aided and abetted by choreographer Samantha Whidby, who knows her Agnes de Mille, Bob Fosse, and Michael Bennett by heart"

Reviews

 

Don Grigwire of Broadway World raves...

 

***Critic's Pick***

 

5 out of 5 stars!

 

"What makes the show so clever is that Rockewell and Bogart have unbelievably captured to the letter the style of each composer, stretching lyrics and lines to the max for full audience enjoyment."

 

"The cast is oh so great."

 

"[Christina] Morrell as Abby is a dynamic singer/actress who was born to take center stage playing the hell out of Mame or any other overexaggerated diva. She's glorious!"

 

"[Eduardo] Enrikez is a treat as Jitter and really knocks the gay-themed characters out of the park especially his big splashy red dress Hello Dolly! number in the Herman segment and his sensual Master of Ceremonies in the Kander & Ebb."

 

"[Jean] Altadel is joyful particularly as Junita, as is [Jason Peter] Kennedy who steals the last scene as Villy coming out in 'Color Me Gay'."

 

"[Samantha] Whidby provides some dynamite dance moves throughout, tearing the roof off in the Speakeasy or Cabaret segment."

 

"What can I say... [Kristin] Towers-Rowles is a dream director. There is nothing that this ingenious gal cannot do ... exceedingly well. She is a born entertainer."

 

"Go see The Musical of Musicals, The Musical. whether or not you are a theatre buff. Fans will eat it up and those that are not will still find big-time enjoyment in the characters and their over.the.top comic bits."

 

 

Steven Stanley of StageSceneLA raves...

 

"WOW!"

 

"Director Kristin Towers-Rowles demonstrates supreme imagination (and an encyclopedic knowledge of musical theater) in bringing Rockwell & Bogart's book, music, and lyrics to sparkling, highly visual life, aided and abetted by choreographer Samantha Whidby, who knows her Agnes de Mille, Bob Fosse, and Michael Bennett by heart."

 

"Each and every cast member shines in multiple roles."

 

"[Jean] Altadel simply couldn't be more appealing as June, whether in quintessential Rodgers & Hammerstein mode...or discovering new sides to her girl-next-door persona as a pizzazzy Junita to give Patti LuPone a run for her money."

 

"[Jason Peter] Kennedy does terrifically too, from cowman Big Willy to eternal juvenile William to a drag-sporting Villy."

 

"[Eduardo] Enrikez has never been better, or seen to better advantage, than in a series of roles that give Miss Saigon's Chris the chance to play villain—and look fabulous in lipstick, mascara, and a dress"

 

"[S]ensational New York-to-L.A. transplant [Christina] Morrell steals every scene she's in, whether as a homespun Mother Abby or a hammered Abby or a divalicious Abigail, her renditions of "Follow Your Dream," "We're All Gonna Die," and "Over The Top" proving bona fide showstoppers and showcases for some amazing pipes."

 

"Musical director Richard Berent not only provides expert keyboard accompaniment throughout, he links each mini-musical with his own hilarious, ingenious takeoffs on the composers."

 

"Costume designer Kara McLeod ingeniously modifies the cast's basic black to create one instantly recognizable character after another."

 

"Lauren Wemischner lights with panache."

 

"In this month of Thanksgiving, [Musical of Musicals] provides musical theater lovers ample reason to give thanks."

 

 

Lovell Estell III of La Weekly raves...

 

"RECOMMENDED!"

 

"All five segments are a hoot."

 

"Kristin Towers-Rowles' direction is excellent, as are the cast performances, but the real star is musical director Richard Berent and his dazzling piano."

 

 

Leo Buck of Buck-Ing Trends raves...

 

It takes a masterful team to parody other masters so effectively and [Eric Rockwell and Joanna Bogart] have created such a smart, hilarious and easily produced a little masterpiece that no musical theater fan or show-tune aficionado will want to miss it! In fact, the puns comes so fast and frequently, you’ll have a great time trying to count them all!

 

All of the lampoonery scores a big bull’s-eye when it comes to garnering big laughs; each member of the cast is a vocal powerhouse and each has their individual moments to shine.

 

[Christina] Morrell has a brilliant voice worthy of a 9999 seat house.

 

Director Kristin Towers-Rowles has crafted one large fast-paced, nutty rollercoaster ride wherein the laughs are deep and genuine. Choreography is by Samantha Whitby who does a great job filling the stage with only a quartet of performers.

 

Musical Director and Accompanist Richard Berent's inspired scene change music make even the scene-change blackouts highly enjoyable.

 

 

Robert Macray of Stage Happenings raves...

 

"These performers can really sing which makes the whole evening even more enjoyable. They all have just the right amount of camp sensibility to carry it all off with tongues squarely in cheeks. I was told the show is often done straight but the camp element made for some real hilarity and that takes some skill on the part of the director and perfumers to pull it off without going overboard."

 

"This is a fun show to see, well-executed and witty as hell. Go see it."

 

 

Ernest Kearney of Working Author raves...

 

Half Christopher Durang's "The History of the American Film" and half "Forbidden Broadway" "The Musical of Musicals, the Musical" is a deliciously witty and razor sharp satire of the Great White Way. In the cross hairs are the most sacred of sacred cows in modern musical theatre, and by the end of the evening those sacred cows are rendered hamburger.

 

This is pitch perfect parody at its peak.

 

Director Kristin Towers-Rowles and choreographer Samantha Whidby cleverly capture the styles and essences matching each musical manifestation

 

This is a great show, with a great cast, that I guarantee is a great time.

 

 

Shari Barrett of Broadway World raves...

 

"The Musical of Musicals, the Musical! hysterically parodies the best loved musicals of all time."

 

 

Victor Sotomayor of Italo's Corner raves...

 

"I haven't laugh this loud in a long time thanks to the perfect comic timing of Jean Altadel, Jason Chacon, Jason Peter Kennedy, and the hilarious and very talented powerhouse that is Christina Morrell."

 

"Make sure to catch The Musical of Musicals, the Musical whether you're a musical fan or not, you'll leave the theatre wanting to see the musicals they're parodying on stage."

 

 

Lorenzo Marchessi of The Geek Authority raves...

 

There is a little theatre company in the Mid-City of Los Angeles called Chromolume Theatre...that has one of the most hysterically funny musical treats you'll ever see.

 

If you love musicals of Broadway...you're just gonna be in tears with laughter throughout the entire show!

 

Directed by an amazing and truly undiscovered (by Broadway or Hollywood) talent/diamond named Kristin Towers-Rowles

 

My first nod has to go the enormously expressive, humorous and vocally amazing talents of Eduardo Enrikez...Eduardo does an amazing job with his dance, moves and expressions and is pure fire on stage. His voice is so amazing it would rival those on Broadway right now...Eduardo is simply a delight to watch, amazing in his characters and he really will keep you laughing all night long.

 

My second and triumphant 'hat's off' must go to Kelly Meyersfield playing the one who is the wiser and acts as the advisor to our young heroine throughout. Kelly just lights up the stage with her amazing comic timing and expressions.

 

Jason [Peter Kennedy] has an incredible voice and resonance that, in its various forms and his various characters, will just capture you eyes and ears and keep you smiling broadly throughout.

 

Kimberly Hessler is a sweet, charming and immensely funny performer...Her beautiful voice and syncopation with some of the songs will truly amaze you with her vocal range.

 

With some of the most funniest and perfect parodying choreography by Samantha Whidby, the “The Musical of Musicals: The Musical” is artistically directed to where the action, attitude and humor is sharply played by the enormously talented cast, that you can tell Director Kristin knows musical theatre to make this entire production such a pure joy to watch. I haven’t had so much fun watching a show in a long time and whether you love musicals or you love to make fun of musicals, either way, you just going to eat this show up!

 

 

Gigi Gastovich of Neon Tommy raves...

 

Christina Morrell's singing is especially impressive as she moves through the show's five very different musical styles as Abby.

 

Jason Chacon as Jitter and Jason Peter Kennedy as Billy steal the scene again and again with their hilarious twisted facial expressions.

 

All in all, "The Musical of Musicals, the Musical!" is an amusing show with a funny and talented cast. It's definitely worth a weekend trip to the cozy Chromolume Theatre.

 

 

Patricia Rye of Patricia Foster Rye Reviews raves...

 

"[The cast] all have terrific voices and execute Samantha Whidby's clever choreography with style."

 

"Director Kristin Towers-Rowles mines all the wry humor."

 

"This is an amusing and entertaining evening in the theater and you'll have the most fun trying to identify the parodied songs and musicals."
