A hilarious peek into the creation of a Broadway show, [title of show] is a true story based on itself; some scenes have been altered to protect the not-so-innocent.
[title of show] is a musical comedy which f
ollows the journey of Hunter and Jeff, two nobodies in New York, who long to make their mark in the world of musical theatre. They hear about the New York Musical Theatre Festival, but with the submission deadline only three weeks away the boys worry about what they can write in that time. With nothing to lose, they decide to enlist the help of their friends Susan, Heidi and Larry to create an original musical. They make a pact to just keep writing until the deadline and submit to the festival whatever they have on paper; a musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical. Throughout the show they suffer writer’s block, fight metaphorical vampires, dream about the show changing their lives, and learn valuable lessons about themselves as people, artists and friends. A postmodern homage to the tradition of backstage musicals like 42nd Street, Kiss Me Kate, The Producers, and A Chorus line, [title of show] above all, is a love letter to musical theatre and the joys of collaboration. Please note that [title of show] is not recommended for teenyboppers under 15; it includes moderate levels of bad language, sexy themes and gratuitous use of theatre-isms.
“For anyone who’s ever dreamed, it’s time to believe in dreaming again… [title of show]… it’s time… believe… dream.”
