A love letter to the musical theatre, this recent Broadway hit tells the story of two struggling young writers who decide to enter a musical theater competition, even though the deadline is just three weeks away. With the help of their friends, the pair write and perform a show in the festival, along the way learning important lessons about themselves as people, friends and artists.

        We had previously seen [tos] during its Broadway run and we were curious how it would translate with a different director and actors. We found the show very enjoyable -- the actress who played Susan... Expand

        The joy of [Title Of Show] is just that. No hidden message, no provocative ideas to puzzle out. After theater conversation may be: 'That was fun!'. Now how often does that happen? Sit back and... Expand

        A fun little show. Sure, it's a little "inside baseball," but that's the joy of it. The actors all seemed to be having a good time bringing the show to us, and the audience was very responsive. Like... Expand

        Eight of us went to see [title of show] this past weekend. Some of us had heard the music before on WERS-FM - this cast lived up to the music. Nice harmonies, good staging. We had a great time and you... Expand

        Having seen this play off-broadway a few years ago, I was anxious to hear the songs again. Unfortunately, the traveling cast, while serviceable, do not have the charm or charisma of the charisma of... Expand

        Very enjoyable show. I don't think there were any heavy insights, as some descriptions imply, but my family laughed throughout the show and liked the tunes, too.
