New York City
Theater LaB Houston presents Johnny Guitar. This laugh filled musical based on the Joan Crawford – Mercedes McCambridge cult western film Johnny Guitar embraces and sends up fifties-style movie acting, melodramatic romance and rough-and-tumble cowboy action. Johnny Guitar tells the story of a sultry saloon owner Vienna and her jealous nemesis, Emma, the town’s tycoon. When a handsome stranger with a secret past rides into town packing a guitar instead of twin Peacemakers six-shooters the stage is set for a hilarious showdown unlike anything the Old West or the theater has ever seen.
