Sometimes one musical just isn't enough… Meet June She can't pay her rent and must face her evil landlord Can her handsome leading man save her? How would Rodgers and Hammerstein envision the story? Perhaps in Kansas in August, with a Dream Ballet! Would Stephen Sondheim present the landlord as a tortured, artistic genius who slashes tenants' throats in revenge because they don't appreciate Art? Jerry Herman's version may be a splashy star vehicle, Andrew Lloyd Webber's a rock musical and Kander and Ebb's, set in a seedy Cabaret in Chicago It's hard to imagine a musical tribute as complete—or as funny as—The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)

If you come off the street, this off Broadway musical
seems just like any other wedding Instead of simply
watching a play, everyone who comes to Tony n’ Tina’s
Wedding becomes the friends and family of the bride
and groom Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding includes dinner
but is not a traditional dinner theatre performance
The very real and extremely funny wedding ceremony
happens first and is followed by the reception There is
a band, which plays songs typical of any current
wedding band The music is so energetic and
entertaining that you will not be able to get off of the
dance floor As the evening progresses the event
happens all around you You can participate by talking
and dancing with the family members who are all
actors or you can sit back and watch your friends and
other wedding guests interact with the wedding party
and guests Any way you do it, it is a wedding you don’t
want to miss!
