I had the pleasure to see Merry-Go-Round’s Youth Tour production of The Paper Bag Princess. The first show of the day! This is the awesome cast with their dragon puppet!

Neurosis: A New Musical is a "delightfully wacky but endearing new show best described as 'Friends' meets Woody Allen, all in a Broadway-style musical. THe show is a buddy comedy about two best friends -- a man and his neurosis -- and what happens when one of them meets the girl of his dreams."
The show’s writers are Greg Edwards (lyrics), Ben Green (music) and Allan Rice (book).
The show features Broadway actor Joseph Medeiros and a roster of talent including returning Merry-Go-Round Playhouse veterans Danny Gardner, Joanne Baum, Julie Cardia and Bob Frame.
Performances continue through Aug. 18. Tickets are now available for Neurosis: A New Musical and all other Festival productions by calling the box office at (315) 255‑1785 or by visiting www.fingerlakesmtf.com/tickets.
Beth Leavel, Christopher Sieber and Brooks Ashmanskas star as a group of well-intentioned Broadway hams who take a stand for justice—and a bit of extra stage-time—in the new musical.
