By: BWW News Desk Apr. 17, 2006
[title of show] -- the
new hit musical by Jeff Bowen and Hunter
Bell -- is offering its third and final extension, with
performances now set to run through April 30th at the Vineyard Theatre (108
East 15th Street). The show was previously extended through April 9th and then through April 23rd.
The show opened on February 26th after beginning previews on February 15th. "[title of show] is the hilarious and bittersweet tale of two struggling
writers named Jeff and Hunter who race to write and submit new musical to a
theatre festival -- with the deadline just weeks away," state press notes on the postmodernly-conceived show.
As it did in 2003, the Vineyard partnered with Kevin McCollum, one of the producers of Avenue Q. McCollum first encountered the Bowen and Bell musical at the 2004 New York Musical Theatre Festival.
Co-creators Bowen (music and lyrics) and Bell (book) star. Tony-nominee Michael Berresse (The Light in the Piazza) directs and choreographs, with musical arrangements and direction by Larry Pressgrove. Rounding out the cast are Susan Blackwell and Heidi Blickenstaff.[title of show] features set design by Neil Patel; costume design by Chase Tyler; lighting design by Ken Billington and Jason Kantrowitz; and sound design by ACME Sound Partners.
