TITLE OF SHOW Makes London Premiere at Landor Theatre, Aug 7

Theatrica Ltd and the Landor Theatre are delighted to announce the London Premiere of Broadway musical [title of show], which will play at the Landor Theatre from Wednesday 7 August (press night Monday 12 August) to Saturday 14 September 2013. Casting to be announced.

Three Weeks. Two friends. One original musical. [title of show] is a wickedly hilarious musical comedy about Hunter and Jeff, two struggling writers who decide to create a new musical for the inaugural New York Musical Theatre Festival. With a three week deadline looming but nothing to lose, they decide to try and create the show of their dreams, but soon realise that their mad dash to put pen to paper is infinitely more entertaining than the show they are writing. Their struggle to write a hit becomes the subject of the show, and so [title of show] is born, taking its name from the ominous space on the festival's application form. Chronicling its own creation and the real life story of Hunter and Jeff's journey to seeing their musical produced, [title of show] is a love letter to musical theatre, following your dreams, and daring to believe that you can actually get paid to do what you love.

[title of show] was first produced by the New York Musical Theatre Festival, where it premiered in 2004. It subsequently ran Off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre in 2006, before opening on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre in 2008 where it received a Tony Award nomination for Best Book of a Musical. After plans to open in the West End in 2011 and again in 2013, [title of show] is now making its journey to London in a brand new production at the Landor Theatre.

The Landor Theatre is one of London's most adventurous and attractive little theatres. Starting life in 1994 as the Cage Theatre, for almost 20 years it has developed an extraordinary reputation for programming new and exciting work, with a commitment to housing new and rarely seen musicals in an intimate setting.

[title of show] is written by Hunter Bell, with music and lyrics by Jeff Bowen. It is directed by Robert McWhir with musical direction by Michael Webborn.
