HEADS OR TALES is Coming to The Magnolia Room

Heads it's Kenneth. Tails it's Mary. How the show turns out is up to you! Join us for a game of musical theatre chance as we let Lady Luck choose the songs with the toss of a coin! Mary & Kenneth are together again for the first time making their cabaret Duo Debut in this fast paced romp exploring ups & downs, ins & outs and bits & bobs. Includes (possibly) songs by Schwartz, Porter, Lehrer, Bernstein, Lippa, Sondheim, Larson, Friedman, Goldrich & Heisler, Pink and Lizzo...but I wouldn't bet on it!

*No 2 shows are the same!

"She [Mary McNulty] has one of the most beautiful voices heard on PPAC stage in recent memory, made even more impressive by how effortless it seems ... McNulty seems to need only open her mouth and glorious music comes from her soul."
