MILLENNIALS ARE KILLING MUSICALS Off-Broadway Cast Recording Available to Stream Now

The original Off-Broadway Cast Recording of Millennials Are Killing Musicals has been released in digital and streaming formats on Friday, September 15. The album can be pre-ordered here.

Nico Juber, Drama League songwriting contest and NAMT Challenge winner, wrote the book, music, and lyrics for this original musical comedy that explores reclaiming authentic happiness in a social media-filtered world. 

Millennials Are Killing Musicals follows Brenda, a single Millennial mom who wants to do better "adulting" like the seemingly perfect Jake's Mom at her daughter's school. Brenda is finally ready for love and creativity in her life when her younger #influencer sister Katrina shows up at her house, eight months pregnant, totally unprepared for motherhood. The three women must shed the Greek chorus of social media filters on their lives to achieve their dreams.
