THIS SHOW IS A TOTAL DISASTER… AND YOU’LL LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT!
Are you tired of normal musicals where things go right?
Sick of happy endings that make sense?
Then buckle up, because Disaster: The Musical is here to absolutely ruin your expectations.
Earthquakes!
Fires!
Tidal waves!
Questionable life choices set to 70s hits!
All happening at the same time. Because why have one disaster when you can have ALL OF THEM?
Featuring iconic songs you didn’t realize could narrate complete chaos, including:
People falling in love… during mass panic
People breaking up… during mass panic
People singing instead of evacuating… during MASS PANIC
Witness dramatic slow-motion running!
Emotional ballads mid-catastrophe!
Absolutely zero regard for safety protocols!
Critics are saying:
“I laughed, I cried, I reconsidered cruise vacations.”
“Like a rollercoaster… if the rollercoaster was on fire.”
So grab your friends, your sense of humor, and maybe a life jacket—just in case.

About the Artist
Janet B. Sessoms, who works primarily in oils, describes her style as painterly realism.

A self-described, life-long learner, she enjoys taking workshops by nationally renowned artists.
