Top of PageSongs for a More Funnier World
Synopsis:
When four singers awake to find themselves in yet another angst-filled evening of musical theater, they decide to break the song cycle! What follows is a no-holds-barred comedy explosion! Songs & scenes tackling dating rules, Christian sex fiends, and your cubical co-worker's "TMI" erupt on stage as four actors navigate this delightfully treacherous world. Buoyed by a pop/jazz and contemporary musical theater score, with whip-smart lyrics, this is a true find for any theater looking for something bright, shiny, and hysterical for an adventurous audience! Appeared in the 2013 New York Musical Theatre Festival.
