MUNCIE, IN—What if one day the world suddenly decided that everything should be a musical, and you absolutely hated musicals?
That’s the hilariously terrifying premise of The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals, running February 13-22 in the Studio at Muncie Civic Theatre. This fast-paced, laugh-out-loud musical comedy delivers big jokes, catchy songs, and just enough chaos to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
From the creators of cult-favorite musical comedies, The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals follows Paul, an ordinary guy whose simple wish is to live a normal, non-singing life. Unfortunately for him, a strange phenomenon turns the people around him into jazz-hands-wielding, show-tune-belting fanatics. What follows is a wildly funny, smartly written show packed with memorable music and outrageous humor.
“This show is pure fun,” said director Tyler Robertson. “It’s fast, funny, and perfect for audiences who love musicals and those who think they don’t.”
With a contemporary score, sharp comedy, and a healthy dose of absurdity, The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals is a must-see for theatre fans looking for something fresh, funny, and just a little bit unhinged.
Whether you’re a lifelong musical lover or someone who swears they hate them, The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals just might win you over, whether you like it or not.
Tickets available now at munciecivic.org. This show is rated R. It contains strong language and adult humor intended for mature audiences.
