is a brilliant show about other famous Broadway shows with amusingly naughty twists. In just ninety minutes, the four-member cast presents five musicals parodying five very different styles…that means Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Kander & Ebb. The focus is on these men's best-known shows, with others thrown into the mix. Each mini-musical is built around the same plot: a maiden named June is in distress because she can't pay her rent to the evil landlord…to the rescue comes a Dear Abby-style older woman and her beau, Bill. This outrageous evening is a whirlwind of jokes, as show after show is lambasted and skewered with unparalleled wit and wry humor. At Chesapeake Academy Black Box theatre, 1185 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd., Arnold. $15/18. Fri. & Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 2 p.m. www.standingoproductions.org. 410-647-8412.
