Title of Show
Nov 30 - Dec 23
Music and lyrics by Jeff Bowen, book by Hunter Bell
Directed by Serena Elize Flores
Jeff and Hunter, two self-described nobodies living in New York City, are determined to create an original musical for the New York Musical Theatre Festival, but they only have three weeks to write it. Hastily grabbing a couple of friends and a music director, they decide to stick to writing about what they know – namely, writing a musical. In the frenzy of composition, will they make the deadline? Does the show even need a title?
Often hilarious, occasionally heartbreaking, and always inspiring, “Title of Show” is a love song to the creative process and a fascinating glimpse of how a real-life Broadway hit evolved from page to stage in the most surprising ways.
