Standing O Presents THE MUSICAL OF MUSICALS: THE MUSICAL, 3/14

Standing O Productions, currently based in Severna Park, has two productions coming up this March, THE MUSICAL OF MUSICALS: THE MUSICAL and 52 PICK UP.

THE MUSICAL OF MUSICALS: THE MUSICAL will play March 14 at 2:00 PM.

The entire "dream cast" returns in THE MUSICAL OF MUSICALS: THE MUSICAL, "a gem of a show" about other famous Broadway shows with amusingly naughty twists. In just ninety minutes, the four-member cast presents five musicals parodying five very different styles...that means Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Kander & Ebb. This outrageous evening is a whirlwind of jokes, as show after show is lambasted and skewered with unparalleled wit and wry humor. Receiving rave reviews during its initial 2009 run, The Baltimore Sun heralded it as "another triumph in Standing O's growing list."

On March 26 and 27 at 8:00 PM and March 28 at 5:30 PM, 52 PICK-UP will take to the stage.

52 cards, each with a different scene from a relationship written on them, are thrown high into the air. Thus begins the theatrical experiment of 52 PICK-UP. The two actors then proceed to pick up
a card and perform that scene. Sounds like a gimmick, yet the story is beautifully observed no matter how it shakes out.

Veteran stage actors and real-life couple Duncan and Dianne Hood return in this spontaneous evening in the theatre, which is delightfully different every night.

Tickets are either $18 or $15. To purchase call 410-647-8412. The Chesapeake Academy Black Box Theatre is located at 1185 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd., Arnold, MD.
