Tony Award Nominated [title of show] is the deliciously smart and tuneful comedy that documents its own creation from idea to Broadway opening. It's a dizzy, unpredictable, and uproariously tongue-in-cheek musical about show business and making one's dreams come true. Follow Hunter, Jeff, Heidi and Susan as they negotiate a musical theatre obstacle course making it to their own Broadway opening. Fresh, funny and playful, [title of show] is a Cinderella tale of the Great White Way.

The cast features: Glen Riggs (Hunter), Tyler Costin (Jeff), Caitlin O'Leary (Heidi), and Melissa O'Keefe (Susan).

"OMG, I Love That Show!" Productions is a platform for new, unknown and rarely seen musicals giving audiences the opportunity to experience theatre in a fresh and vibrant environment. Derek Travis Collard, [title of show]'s director is thrilled to be brining this show to East Bay audiences. Collard says, "[title of show] is a love letter to Broadway and the wacky journey we go through as artists to see these shows come to life on stage. Beyond the stage and world of theatre, this is a show for anyone who has ever had a dream."
