A Musical About Writing a Musical

The cult hit [Title of Show] is a brilliantly self-aware musical comedy about the creative process behind making theatre.

Originally created by Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell, the show began as a last-minute entry to the New York Musical Theatre Festival before becoming an unexpected sensation and eventually transferring to Broadway.

The Story

The musical follows Jeff and Hunter, two struggling writers trying to come up with an original idea for a musical to submit to a theatre festival.

As the submission deadline rapidly approaches, they decide to write about the only thing they know — the process of writing a musical.

Joined by their friends Susan and Heidi, the group embark on a chaotic and hilarious journey through the challenges of creativity, friendship and chasing theatrical dreams.

Packed with humour and self-referential wit, [Title of Show] celebrates the unpredictable adventure of making theatre.

The London Production

This London staging of [Title of Show] ran at Southwark Playhouse Borough from 14 to 30 November 2024, bringing the beloved musical comedy to audiences for a limited engagement.
