Everyman Theatre: The Musical of Musicals (the Musical)
18 October @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm AEDT

”I can’t pay the rent!’
‘You must pay the rent!’
‘I’ll pay the rent for you!’
‘Yay!’
This timeless story makes for a perfect musical. But let’s do 5 of them instead!
This off-Broadway smash hit tells the same simple story 5 times in the style of 5 different geniuses of musical theatre:
- Rodgers & Hammerstein (Corn!)
- Stephen Sondheim (A Little Complex)
- Jerry Herman (Dear Abby!)
- Andrew Lloyd Webber (Aspects of Junita)
- Kander & Ebb (Speakeasy)
After sellout seasons in 2009 and 2013 – 11 years later, like an exhumed corpse or crossover episode, we’re dragging ourselves out of retirement, putting on our basic blacks, and getting (most of) the gang back together!
