If you’re the type of dude that follows our Facebook, Tweet machine, or the general buzz of the internet rumor mill, you may have already heard about the upcoming project Rodgers and Hammerstein Are Dead. If you’re particularly “with it”, you may already know that the piece is created and performed by Ladies and Gentlemen. But if you didn’t make it out to Monday’s On Stage Philadelphia at Plays & Players, where L&G made their smash debut, then you probably have no idea who they are! YIKES!

Curiosity is a signpost of great intelligence, and you, dear reader, are obviously one smart cookie. For you, we’ll answer the eternal question: who in the seam hall are these Ladies and Gentlemen?!?

First, a general blurb: Ladies and Gentlemen is Philadelphia’s newest musical improv group. These talented performers take a single audience suggestion and turn it into a fully-formed, Broadway-style musical. Every note, every word, every kickline is made up on the spot. Comprised of some of Philadelphia’s finest improvisors, Ladies and Gentlemen looks to take Broad Street by storm with its blend of toe-tapping melodies and improvised comedy.

The Ladies and Gentlemen are directed by Jason Stockdale. The musical director is the insanely talented Joe Gribbin.
