ReWrite, a musical comedy triple feature deals with time. With deadlines. The deadlines one imposes on oneself and the deadlines that the universe imposes on us. It’s about trying to live up to the expectations you created for yourself and trying to do it before your time runs out. It’s about normal people, not the sort of people who get musicals written about them. Normal people dealing with little problems that seem huge and huge problems boiled down to something a bit more manageable. ReWrite, a musical comedy triple feature includes the mini-musicals Nelson Rocks, Miss Marzipan and The Process.Cast includes: Nick Blaemire (Cry-Baby, Music/ Lyrics Glory Days), Badia Farha (Bway/Tours: Sister Act The Musical, Little Shop Of Horrors, Rent, Dreamgirls), Lorinda Lisitza (Night Life Award Winner), Lauren Marcus (The Plant That Ate Dirty Socks), AJ Shively (National Tour The Sound Of Music ) And Jason “Sweet Tooth” Williams (Crossing Brooklyn).
