What makes musical theater so enjoyable? Could it be the bright lights, the catchy tunes or the sparkly costumes? Well, sure it could be all these things, and in WaterTower Theatre's Homemade Fusion, which features music by Christopher Dimond and Michael Kooman, all the elements of musical theater come together in a cool cabaret performance. Original songs including "Random Black Girl" and "The Temp & The Receptionist" will teach you lessons about life, love and even a candy bar. Homemade Fusion features performances by WaterTower actors Traci Lee, Joshua Gonzales and Matt Tolbert, among others, with musical direction by Mark Mullino. Baylor University actors Hannah Brake, Andrew Dilday and Sarah Smith will also perform. The show takes place after Little Shop of Horrors at 10:30 p.m. Friday at the Addison Theatre Center, 15660 Addison Road. Admission is free, and there's a cash bar for your enjoyment.
