Here’s one last chance to see one of the summer’s most
entertaining productions — and support a worthy cause. Cincinnati Landmark
Productions (whose co-founders, Tim and Jennifer Perrino and Denny Reed have
been selected by the League of Cincinnati Theatres for their 2009 Continuing
Achievement Award) presented The Musical of Musicals back in July on the Showboat Majestic and sold most
of the tickets. They know a hit when they see it, so they’ve brought it back
for one last hurrah to support the Rising Star Awards of the Acclaims,
recognizing young theater artists under the age of 25 as they launch their
careers.
The Musical of Musicals
is a clever piece of theater that takes one tried-and-true melodramatic story
and retells it five different ways — in the musical styles of Rodgers and
Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Kander and Ebb and Andrew Lloyd
Webber. If you love musicals, you’ll be laughing from start to finish — and if
you’re lukewarm about musicals, you’ll find yourself amused by the satire of
how silly they can be. Either way, it’s a great evening of entertainment at a
time in the summer when there’s precious little to enjoy onstage. It’s
happening at Below Zero Lounge in Over-the-Rhine; doors open
at 6 p.m., the performance is at 7 p.m. $10 (with a two-drink minimum).
