Open House

W: Dan Mirvish, Lawrence Maddox; D: Dan Mirvish; with Sally Kellerman, Ann Magnuson, Kelly Martin, Anthony Rapp, James Duval

The elation of finding that one special home in your price range, the devastation of losing that perfect piece of real estate to a higher bidder, the giddy pleasures of the house hunt: What better way to express these amplified emotions than with a musical: an all-singing, all-dancing peek into the highs, lows, and quirks of the real estate business? Thoroughly indie Mirvish takes his digital camera and singing cast (ranging from respectable to charming) and peers into the underbelly of home buying and selling. Why wouldn’t there be shooting, stealing, betrayal, love, and escrow? Come for the exclusive opening sequences of Austin real estate (seriously) and stay to see “Hot Lips” Sally Kellerman sing, sell, and seduce her way into your heart.
