New Years Eve, 1999. With the whole country caught up in"Y2K Paranoia", Chazz decides it's the perfect opportunity to escape his rural hometown of Redfield, VA. He leaves behind his Meth-dealing mom, and hops a Greyhound in hopes of getting into the Party Of The Century: The"Y2K Bootyquake Bash" at The Groove Factory. Despite the assault on NYC's Clubland and the politically charged"War on Designer Drugs", DJ D Vinyl has managed to keep his club pumping nightly, and the countdown to the Millennium promises to be a life-changing event. Score: Pulsating electronic pop music.

Moving on is never easy, as 6 strangers discover when they're trapped between stations on the subway. When tension builds, colorful characters clash as they recognize pieces of themselves emerging in one another. Poignant contemporary musical; humorous and heartfelt; explores exactly what it means to be Stuck.

SEEKING

[ALICIA] late teens/early 20s Female, Asian. Privileged college student w/a confident no-nonsense attitude. Genuine, earnest, but her self-assured naivete makes her come off as mean. Strong, versatile pop/MT mix, must be able to hold in tight harmony.

[CALEB] late teens/early 20s, Male, Caucasian. Not your normal college student. Kind of nerdy, maybe goth/alternative/emo, but certainly a conglomeration of emotion & intellect. Views the world through a nervous energy; has never really had the courage to flourish. Versatile pop/MT tenor (optional Bb), must be able to hold in tight harmony.

[EVE] 20s Female, African American. Independent, determined. Comes from a past but has risen above it w/hard work. Her sassy demeanor helps her control her surroundings, but she's still grounded and present. Versatile pop/MT belter, funk/improv a +, must be able to hold in tight harmony.

[RAMON] 30s Male, Hispanic. Works 3 jobs, has 3 kids, undocumented. Very private - observes everything, but keeps to himself. Underneath, brimming with passion, but it's been buried under life experience. Versatile pop/MT baritenor, must be comfortable speaking & singing in Spanish & able to hold in tight harmony.

[SUE] 40s-50s Female. Caucasian, a teacher. The invisible woman who rides the subway to work every day. Kind & compassionate at heart, but still a guarded New Yorker. Carefully controls herself. Normally pious & strong in her beliefs & lifestyle, she has recently experienced a loss. Strong MT mix, must be able to hold in tight harmony.

[LLOYD] Ageless Male (most likely 40+), African American. Homeless, slightly larger than life, likes to recite Shakespeare. Sees into the heart of things, but often unable to fully communicate w/others. Functions as part of the action & as psuedo-narrator. Strong baritone, must be able to hold in tight harmony.
