Ever hear of a musical without songs? It just might make this madcap comedy a first!

Jules, Sydney, and Elliot have some big dreams. An up-and-coming musical team, they ve rented a creaky old theater for six weeks to mount a production of their new show. Top Broadway investors are slated to attend, so the team is going to need every minute to rehearse the musical.

To their dismay, they discover that the theater is scheduled for demolition the very next day, and they don t have the money to rent another venue! There s only one thing to do: throw the show together in just two hours and present it to any investors who can make it on such short notice.

And so the rehearsal begins. But every time a performer gets ready to sing and the music starts to swell, someone bursts into the theater and cuts the song off! There s the annoying child actor who desperately wants to be in the show, a group of very confused protesters, a pushy politician seeking a splashy photo op, and of course, the bumbling demo crew themselves.

Requiring only a few bars of various music styles, one dance number, the barest of sets, and no actual singing, this hilarious farce will be the easiest musical you ll ever produce!
