With book, music & lyrics by Paul Louis & Nick Santa Maria, this is a song-filled adult comedy about real men behaving like, well...REAL MEN. Get an inside glimpse of what it takes to be a man in a modern world shared with women, children, and yes, even puppets. REAL MEN, who make a habit of juggling their balls every day; fatherhood, mid-life crisis, dating, marriage, potency, sexuality, and the lack of it. REAL MEN, answering the one pertinent question that's on everyone's mind, "Do REAL MEN sing show tunes and play with puppets?"
