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.

      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 could tell that the cast was having fun, too. We knew the Arts Boston tickets would be in back, but the theatre is small enough that it really didn't make a difference.

      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 the original cast. I just never got the feeling that they "owned" the charachers. Still an enjoyable evening, but not the "wow" I was hoping for. Collapse

      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.
