''The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)'' is a musical by Joanne Bogart and Eric Rockwell. It is structured into five acts, each of which is a short musical parodying (and paying homage to) the style of an American or British musical theatre composer or composer/lyricist team, all dealing with roughly the same classic melodrama plot: "I can't pay the rent!" The musical premiered off-Broadway in 2003 at the York Theatre. It again played off-Broadway in 2005 at the Dodger Stages V with the same cast. It also had a production on London's West End, in Australia (Canberra - 2009 and Feb 2010) as well as numerous productions in U.S. regional theatres and in Canada. ==Roles== Each musical features four players who reprise similar archetypal melodrama roles in each. *The villain, "Jitter" - Male, the landlord figure of each musical who demands the rent be paid or another form of recompense offered. *The hero, "Billy" - Male, the leading man and romantic interest who, in the end, valiantly offers to pay the rent, whether he can or not. *The ingenue, "June" - Female, the leading lady who cannot pay her rent. *The matron, "Abby" - Female, the older woman to whom June turns for advice, always with the words "Thank you Abby, that was so helpful". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
