SYNOPSIS
SYNOPSIS
Imagine two hyper-talented
young songwriters in New
York trying to write a new
musical about two hypertalented
young songwriters
in New York trying to write
a new musical?! That’s [title
of show], the deliciously
smart and tuneful musical A view of New York, the awesome city where [title of show] takes place
that wowed Broadway audiences
and critics last fall. It’s a dizzy, unpredictable, and uproarious tongue-in-cheek musical about
show business and making one’s dreams come true. Follow Jeff, Hunter, Heidi and Susan as they
negotiate a musical theatre obstacle course of finding backers, casting singers, and making it
to Broadway. Fresh, funny and playful, [title of show] is a Cinderella tale set to music about the
journey from the unemployment line to the Great White Way.
Delectable entertainment! Hilarious! A fresh new musical worth cheering!"
-- The New York Times.
