The Music Shop is a hilarious play in the style of a cartoon. Made in 1990 by Anton Chekov, this comedy is centered around a Music Shop which sells sheet music and instruments. A man comes in to find a specific piece of music, but doesn't remember the name, so the obvious thing to do is to sing every piece of music in the shop for him so he can remember. It reminds the viewer of things like Looney Tunes, and the fact that it's possible to pull off some of the cartoon slapstick on stage is impressive. It's also a good gateway for people not knowledgeable about classical music, being able to give samples of a large variety of songs. All in all, if you get the chance to see this play, do, because as long as it's performed right, you're sure to have a good time.
Adventure Van, musicing out.
