In this one-man vocal spectacular, highbrow academia meets the average American family as Rick Miller mixes Shakespeare’s Macbeth with The Simpsons. Homer and Marge play Lord and Lady MacHomer, with Rick Miller filling in for more than 50 characters from the timeless TV series in this imaginatively staged, hilarious version of a tragic regicide and its aftermath.
Doug Elkins and Friends: Frauleïn Maria If you’re expecting a traditional interpretation of The Sound of Music, you’re in for a surprise.
