How did Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop”
become a ‘50s-style doo-wop number?
Since when was Meghan Trainor’s “All
About That Bass” about an upright bass
fiddle? At what point did Macklemore’s
“Thrift Shop” evolve into a ‘20s hot jazz
tune? It’s all part of the topsy-turvy world of
Postmodern Jukebox, an ongoing musical
project spearheaded by pianist and arranger
Scott Bradlee, who takes contemporary
pop and rock tunes and fashions new
arrangements for them in musical styles
from the past. Visit the website for
information on tickets and other details.

With the houselights down, a man in
a chair appears on stage and puts on his
favorite record: the cast recording of a
fictitious 1928 musical. The recording
comes to life and “The Drowsy Chaperone”
begins. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their
wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate
theater producer, a not-so-bright hostess,
two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a
misguided “Don Juan” and an intoxicated
chaperone, and you have the ingredients
for an evening of madcap delight! Visit
the website for information on purchasing
tickets and other details. Allegheny County Special
