DESPERATE MEASURESBook and Lyrics by Peter Kellogg Music by David FriedmanDirected by Brad CarrollJune 2October 10Eileen and Allen Anes Studio TheatreWinner of numerous 2018 off-Broadway awards including the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical and the Drama Desk Award for Best Music and Lyrics, this foot-stompin, knee-slappin musical gives a sideways nod to the Bards Measure for Measure but gallops off at breakneck speed to the wild West of 1890. There we learn Johnny has been arrested for murder. To save him, a wily sheriff, a priest who reads Nietzsche, a voluptuous saloon girl, and a novice nun plan a preposterous capera caper that must work, or Johnny will surely hang.
