As lively as a Broadway musical. It spoofs fake doctors who
try to cure the mayor’s daughter, Lucy. To avoid marrying
old Otis Lackluster for his money, Lucy claims she’s lost her
voice forever. None of the quack doctors hired by the mayor
can restore her health, but their methods are hilarious. A
large cast with a variety of colorful Western characters. Five
bluegrass/country songs including: “Is There a Doctor in
the House?” “Who’s Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” “The
Professional Way” “Love is the Best Dang Doctor,”
and “Medicine Show Today.” A lively one act musical.
Everyone gets laugh lines – even the audience!

A one-act, nonstop comedy musical full of the wildest rock
‘n’ roll clichés and character types of the fifties! Jack trades
the family cow to a scam artist for a bottle of “The Great
Elixir.” His angry mother tosses it out the window and a
giant stalk grows. Jack climbs it and finds the Beanstalk
Bandstand, a TV show featuring Duck Clark and guest
performers who perform in the rock ‘n’ roll styles of Chuck
Berry, Elvis and the Supremes. Jack finds a new career as
the announcer of the TV Bandstand show. Eight lively
songs and reprises including: “The Great Elixir,” “Old
Time Hunger,” “At the Rock Hop,” “Rock and Roll
Twist” and “I Wanna Be!” Also has take-off parodies of
familiar commercial jingles. An irresistible spoof for teens
who want to have fun in silly costumes, while acting and singing
in a musical comedy.

Phantom of the Op’ry —
The One Act Musical
book by TIM KELLY
lyrics by MIKE VIGILANT
music by GERALD CASTLE
cD Sampler
A one act musical version
of Phantom of the Op’ry
Cast: 14F, 7M, optional extras
Playing time: 60 minutes, 1 act
Order #R-R288 Script: $6.25
Order #R-R289 Vocal score: $8
Order #R-R290 Piano/conductor score: $15
Order #R-RC88 Production/rehearsal CD set: $65
Order #R-RP88 Royalty: $75/$60
Shorter in length than the best-selling full-length show
but the spooky fun remains — all of it! The same
outrageously funny characters at work to keep the
Phantom from harming Christine Swansong as he
seeks to make her the star of the show. Easier to
produce with only the four best songs: “I Enjoy
Being a Ghoul,” “Too Good to Be True,” “Patron
of the Arts,” and “One Man Military Complex.”
Fun roles also for chorus and comedy dancers. May be
staged with only one set.
(see two act musical version on page 4)

Nothing tragic about this rock ‘n roll version of our bestselling
play with the same name. Shakespeare’s story of
teenage lovers finds new energy in this modern idiom with
rap and rock ‘n roll music. Even the feuding families, the
DeCapitates and the Mountainviews, become good friends.
The Bard’s classic lines are translated into teenage slang
within an unpredictable situation comedy. Nothing is sacred.
It’s the same love-at-first-sight tale, but Romeo and Julie’s
presumed elopement turns out to be nothing more than
puppy love. Includes four songs: “Rock, Rock Into
Music,” “The Greatest,” “My Romeo,” “Marriage
Rap” and one reprise. The actors create their own scenery.
Non-stop action. Easy to stage anywhere.
