I'm a [tos]er

Listening to the [title of show] soundtrack just brightens my day. The production and the cast are already hilarious, but getting all the other theatrical references makes it even better.

[title of show] was an entry to the 2004 NY Musical Theater Festival. It's a musical about writing the musical the audience is watching. (Or the theater festival entry about their theater festival entry). It has one of the wittiest books ever and a very catchy score. The writers/actors play their real selves preparing the musical [title of show]. The cast: two guys, two girls, and a pianist. The set: four chairs and a keyboard.

It finally fulfilled its dream of moving to Broadway mid-2008 but closed last October. They even chronicled this on their blog and YouTube page. (If you're a Broadwayphile, watch their videos and catch all the cameos.)

Here's a fun video explaining everything:


Here's a Broadwayworld feature:
