A postmodern homage to the grand tradition of backstage musicals like Babes in Arms, Kiss Me Kate and A Chorus Line, [title of show] was conceived by composer Jeff Bowen, played by Blake Erickson and playwright Hunter Bell, played by Jay James-Moody who decided to write a completely original musical starring themselves and their friends. With their lady friends Susan, played by Keira Daley and Heidi, played by Lizzie Moore - and Larry, played by Paul Geddes on the keys - the team chronicles the creation of their own show, writing about what to write about and the events shaping their journey to the Great White Way as they unfold.
Keira Daley gives a standout performance as Susan – Same Same
