San Francisco Bay Area Theater Reviews

[title of show]

June 6, 2017 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

[title of show]
Jeff Bowen (Music & Lyrics); Hunter Bell (Book)
Los Altos Stage Company:

Derek DeMarco, Jocelyn Pickett, Nick Rodrigues & Caroline Clark

When Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell decided in 2004 to enter a brand-new musical (and not an adaptation, thank you) into the New York Musical Theatre Festival competition, they soon decided that their actual dialogue and process of creating a script (Hunter) and score/lyrics (Jeff) in only three weeks was going to the be musical itself.  That they could not decide an appropriate title became the title, and [title of show] was born about “two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical.”   The journey of the musical’s often bumpy and near disastrous birthing and its eventual off-and-on-again trip to an actual Broadway stage is the subject of [title of show], now being staged at Los Altos Stage Company.
