About this show
WHAT'S THE DEAL?
”Uproariously funny and surprisingly touching… Howard Barnes’ confused and frustrated reactions to the sudden infiltration of flamboyant chorus members and jazz hands are everything you’ve ever wanted from a character in a musical. Finally, someone acknowledges how bizarre it is to burst into song and dance by the water cooler!” — Buzz Center Stage
“The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes is a show for people who love musical theatre and their spouses who hate it.” —Playbill
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
Emotionally-repressed Howard lives a perfectly average existence, until the day he wakes up to discover that his life has become a musical. Desperate to escape, he teams up with aspiring actress Maggie, and the two embark on a fantastical quest. Equal parts satire and romantic comedy, The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes is a whimsical love letter about letting go of the past and learning to embrace the music.
The alter ego of Mrs Kasha Davis, Edward Popil will be playing the part of Stephen Von Schwartzenheim.

This was an awesome event! It was so much fun. The museum did a great job transforming the place into a night club atmosphere. I appreciated having the V.I.P option with seating. Mrs. Kasha Davis put on an excellent show that was hilarious and entertaining. I love that local queens and kings were featured. I hope for more events like this in the future.
