- Synopsis
Does for musicals what the Reduced Shakespeare Company did for Shakespeare. Affectionately sending-up shows from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Lloyd Webber, this show is a riotous cocktail of great gags and musical pastiches!
- Background
Progressive and playfully entertaining, Throwaway breaks into the bottom drawers of musical theatre’s most celebrated composers, looking for neglected works possessing depth, immediacy and bite to reinvestigate for a modern audience.
Throwaway is planning its re-launch in 2008 with an exciting new programme of work, including two full scale productions at the Edinburgh fringe, a series of musical variety evenings, as well as supporting new writing and musicals in London and nationwide.
'If you see one musical at this year’s fringe, make it this one’ (5 stars)
