Claptrapp: The Sound of Musicals

By Joe Godfrey

Directed by Scott Bennett

“Claptrapp: The Sound of Musicals” is a hilarious adult send-up of the classic The Sound of Music. Playwright Joe Godfrey maintains the basic plot of the original story, while weaving together lyrics from more than 40 other Broadway musicals to create an altogether original comedy production. In Claptrapp, novice nun Maria is unable to control her sexual urges so Mother Superior kicks her out -- and into the arms of Captain Von Krapp, a single father, who's in danger both from the Nazis and his angry ex-fiancee.
