Description

---

Merrily We Dance and Sing is a slapstick, madcap musical farce. While a small-town community theater performs an original operetta The Naughty Boy, an escaped serial killer gets loose in the theater - eventually hiding from the local police on the stage - which forces the actors to improvise new plot lines, rewrite dialogue, and take the opportunity to invent their own happy endings. Imagine "Gilbert & Sullivan Meet the Marx Brothers." With book & lyrics by Van Zandt & Milmore and original music.

“It’s exceptional! With its wicked puns, naughty misogyny, sexual entendre and general goofiness, it’s like an extended Milton Berle Comedy Hour! Slapstick, missed cues, tear-away clothing, pratfalls. Just about everything except scenery falling down. Stay for the curtain call!” - Two River Times

“A zany musical! The first musical nuttiness Van Zandt & Milmore have put together in their 22 year association. Van Zandt and Milmore have included every gag in the book - men dressed as women, women dressed as men, innuendoes and slapstick galore! Let us rejoice! Flashes of 'Pirates of Penzance,' Abbott & Costello, sex of various persuasions, chases through the audience and collapsing scenery. First-rate! And so hilarious!” - The Coaster

“Packed with fun! Unparalleled in its absurd hilarity! Uproariously funny! So packed with quips, wisecracks and innuendoes that it may be impossible to get all the jokes in one viewing!” - Asbury Park Press
