[about the show]:
[title of show] is a melodic and uproarious musical about making ones dreams come true.
In 2004, Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell wanted to enter the inaugural New York Music Theatre Festival (NYMF). The problem was, Jeff and Hunter didn't have a musical. With the application deadline set, three weeks later they entered [title of show], named after the first line in the festival application form.
[title of show] takes a witty look at both the pleasures and perils of the artistic process, the art and business of creating an original show in a culture dominated by revivals and reality TV stars.
The plot follows Jeff, Hunter, Heidi and Susan as they negotiate a musical theatre obstacle course of finding backers, generating publicity, and finally making it to Broadway.
Following its debut at NYMF, [title of show] enjoyed an acclaimed run at the Vineyard Theater Off-Broadway in 2006, and saw the release of an Original Cast Album that same year. Jeff and Hunter fulfilled their Broadway aspirations in July 2008, where [title of show] ran for over 100 performances. The Magnormos production at Theatre Works in May 2010 was the first to be mounted outside of the USA, and following its successful reception returns to Theatre Works for a limited engagement in preparation for a pending national tour.
