Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Musical of Musicals: The Musical! is a 2005 Off-Broadway musical with music, lyrics and book by Eric Rockwell and Joanne Bogart. It retells the same basic plot parodying five famous writing teams.The same four principals appear in the same four roles, only with slightly different names.The master plot: Boy loves Girl; Girl can't pay the landlord and seeks advice from Abby; Boy finds a way to pay Girl's rent in time for the finale.The five musicals within the musical, as presented in two acts, are: "Corn!" (in the style of Rodgers and Hammerstein) People might say that Big Willy and June are in love. Big Willy denies it, sings about the beautiful corn, soliloquizes, "et cetera, et cetera, et cetera." Mother Abby leads June into a Dream Ballet. "A Little Complex" (in the style of Stephen Sondheim) The plot sours. Neuroses multiply, as do rhymes. Art isn't easy for Jeune and Billy: Billy has written a hummable melody song, and Jeune has thrown Jitter's artwork in the dumpster with other garbage. Jitter has an epiphany and waits for his revenge. "Dear Abby!" (in the style of Jerry Herman) Abby can't sing or dance, but she's still the toast of the chorus. Less plot than scene changes, but at least some old-fashioned show tunes. "Aspects of Junita" (in the style of Andrew Lloyd Webber) Sir Phantom Jitter wants Junita to sing his new rock opera for him. The Chorus roller-skates around the entitled title character. Mostly the old song and dance. "Speakeasy" (in the style of Kander and Ebb) Things are different nowadays in the Thirties. In this Darker and Edgier world, Jütter hosts a cabaret in Chicago, Villy is now a gay prison inmate, and Fräulein Abby advises Juny to sell her body to pay the rent.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In 2021, the York Theatre held a virtual production to raise money for a water main break in the theater. | |
