Flo & Joan’s One Man Musical is a hilarious musi-cool parody – review
We’ve been looking forward to seeing One Man Musical for some time – we recently interviewed the show’s writers Flo & Joan, sisters Nicola and Rosie Dempsey, during rehearsals for this run at the Underbelly Boulevard Theatre.
The show was written for last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has already enjoyed a brief sold-out stint at the Soho Theatre, and is now running for six weeks at its new home just around the corner from there.
While the title may not give much away, it quickly becomes apparent that this a show about musical theatre titan Andrew Lloyd Webber, one that would be poking fun at the celebrity writer – at the top of the show we’re warned it’s a legal minefield.
Playing Lloyd Webber is comedian and actor George Fouracres, while Flo & Joan mostly play the role of the band, adding piano, drums and backing vocals – although occasionally stepping out from behind their instruments to help keep the show on track.
