Hey, Morgan!

This is a miniature musical of superior stature that might rock the socks off the competition. It tells the tale of a feisty little Jewish maiden, Morgan (a bouncy, irresistible Martha Marion). With predictably but bearably loud (after all, this is a small theater) rockin' music composed by Matthew Fogel, Isaac Laskin, and David Richman—with book and salty, engaging lyrics by Fogel and Laskin—it features the onstage Laskin strumming along with Jon Lee, Mike Wendland, Sean Douglas, and Ryan Janke.

At the doting hands of her adoring parents (splendid Meagan English and too terrific Adam Shapiro, who also play all the other parts), whatever Morgan wants, Morgan gets—including a new, mama-inspired, straightened nose; a summer camp unfettering of her badge of innocence, as it were; a doting boyfriend to yearn for; the college of her choice; an idealized, diminishingly perfect first job—at CAA, no less; a precious gap year in some fashionable location; and finally the man of her dreams.

This is a fairy story, of course (no spoilers here), and therefore unsurprising, but it is totally engaging, with excellent performances all around. English, Laskin, Marion, and Shapiro play all the parts most admirably, allowing us to listen, laugh, and love them as they play joyfully along with this highly enjoyable musical fantasy.

Presented by and at the Black Dahlia Theatre, 5453 W. Pico Blvd., L.A. Oct. 15-Nov.19. Thu.-Fri., 8 p.m.; Sat., 8 & 10 p.m. (800) 838-3006. www.thedahlia.com.
