Treat yourself to a sneak preview of an original musical bio of the "March King," John Philip Sousa. Created by Ken Malucelli, award-winning composer and a cappella producer, "Oh Mr. Sousa!" boasts a cast of nine singing actors accompanied by piano-four-hands in arrangements written especially for the show. Marches, waltzes, novelty songs and a big chunk of music from Sousa's most successful comic opera, "El Capitan," are featured as the players take us through some of the most exciting and humorous episodes in the life of this great American legend.
And the music! -- "Semper Fidelis," "Washington Post," and more -- as Sousa himself once put it, it's enough to make a man with a wooden leg get up and dance! This fun evening of family entertainment features actors Cheryl Blalock, Susan Taylor, Kathi Brotemarkle, Catherine Shelton, Peter Matthews, John Hutchinson, Andrew Truitt, Todd Schurk and Michael Morris, with Lucy Hudson and Lindsey Huff on piano-four-hands.
