A COMMERCIAL JINGLE FOR REGINA COMET Begins Performances Off-Broadway Tomorrow

A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet, the first new musical to premiere in New York City since the shutdown began, begins performances tomorrow, Friday, September 17th at the DR2 Theatre (103 E. 15th Street), ahead of an official opening night set for Monday, September 27, with the strictly limited engagement set to run through Sunday, November 14th, 2021.

Two nobodies dream of writing one hit song for everybody, but their day job composing jingles for commercials isn't the big break they hoped. That is, until they're plucked from obscurity by a world-famous pop star named Regina Comet (if destiny had a child, it would be her) and she wants them to create an anthem for her supernova pipes... and her new perfume. They're so close to the big-time they can smell it, but following your passion doesn't always lead where you expect. Making a hit song can be a shit-show.
