SKETCH / FREE PARKING / SPECIAL EVENT

From the twisted mind of Kelsey Harper and her 30 finger puppets comes “Something Like… Musical.” “Something Like… Musical” is the only comedy show in Los Angeles where Kelsey Harper learns the music to a famous musical doesn’t look up the plot then performs what SHE believes happens with finger puppets.

“Something Like… Musical” incorporates song dance puppetry storytelling multi-media video elements and sometimes… some behind the scenes drama — When you get that many puppets together there’s bound to be some divas.
