The Zen of Show Tunes

“The Zen of Show Tunes” is a cabaret romp through Brian Tom O’Connor’s favorite musical theater songs, some familiar, some rare, from the angle of a guy who tries to meditate but fails. He just can’t keep his monkey mind quiet. The show ranges from the tongue-in-cheek and the silly, through the dark emotions that challenge us all, and out again into the sunlight of theater music that make life worth living.

A wise old Zen master once wrote, “Light the candles, get the ice out, roll the rug up, It’s today.”

Do show tunes have mystical powers? Can laughter change your life? Do songs from musicals have secret wisdom? To find out, come and be initiated into the secret cult of Broadway musicals. Or just come to laugh and cry at the most delightful, clever, tuneful, funny, wise, cosmic, moving, and enjoyable show tunes Brian could find to help bring you to the blissed-out nirvana that only great musical theater songs can create.
