‘Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)’ rescheduled for Nov. 4-5

The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!) has been rescheduled for two performances only: 7:30 p.m. Nov. 4 and 5.

The production by Lawrence University Theatre Arts, set for Stansbury Theatre in Lawrence’s Music-Drama Center, was previously scheduled for last weekend but had to be postponed.

Directed by Kathy Privatt, with music direction from Phillip Swan, the performance will present five musicals rolled into one satirical comedy. By Eric Bogart and Joanne Rockwell, it is billed as a “valentine to musical theatre,” telling one story in five styles: a Rodgers & Hammerstein version, a Sondheim version, a Jerry Herman version, an Andrew Lloyd Webber version, and a Kander & Ebb version.
