“Dearest: The Mommy Musical”

June 15 to July 14

Theatre on the Square

 Last August, Theater on the Square presented “Dearest: The Mommy Musical” at the Indy Fringe Festival. I deliberately didn’t go, not because I didn’t want to see and hear it—I did. But I opted to wait until TOTS staged a full production of the new show. Well, I didn’t have to wait long. Less than a year after that workshop production, the show about Joan Crawford (based on her daughter’s scandalous tell-all), has been deemed ready for its close-up. Written and directed by TOTS Artistic Director Ron Spencer, it promises such songs as “Box Office Poison (Bring Me the Ax)” and “I Am Not One of Your Fans.” Details here.
