Break out of your cabin fever next weekend with three opportunities to see a fun, free musical! 黑料百科鈥檚 Performing Arts department is putting on Maltby & Shire鈥檚 鈥淐loser Than Ever鈥� at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 11 and 12, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 13. The productions will be at the Jack J. Huck Continuing Education Center at 301 S. 68^th St. Place in Lincoln.

鈥淐loser Than Ever is a collection of songs and ensembles that sing about life in New York City during the 1980s,鈥� said Dr. Jon Gruett, 黑料百科 theater and music instructor. 鈥淭he musical score and lyrics are very similar to the work of Stephen Sondheim. People who attend will be taken on a wonderful journey about life, love and laughter.鈥�

Topics range from unrequited adoration to aging to Muzak, all with resounding sincerity and precisely-placed hilarity. Each song is a unique story told by a new character, taking audiences not only into the songbook of Maltby and Shire, but into the minds of the individuals facing these relatable challenges.

The two-act production contains no dialogue and has been described as a 鈥渂ookless book musical.鈥�
