About the Show

This pop musical follows four ambitious go-getters in their quest for Hollywood success.

When TV’s biggest showrunner announces a new deal with a major streaming subscription service, it sends her assistant Tara into a frenzy. Tara sees an opportunity to move off a desk and into a writer’s room while the other assistants look for their own ways to profit. Isaac, a talent agent’s assistant, wants to win a few new clients for his agency; Liz thinks she and her boss can be the leading ladies; and Nick, who assists his superstar producer father, needs to shift the media’s attention back to the release of his latest movie. Navigating the industry proves harder than expected for the assistants as secret alliances are made, trust is manipulated, and emotions get in the way of business.

Escapism, Long, Fluffy, Dated, Great singing

See it if you like stories of youthful ambition in entertainmt world. Actor, writer, agent, producer strive. Many songs! Melodies similar, lyrics meh.

Don't see it if you want important, insightful script. But strg performances (esply 2 gals). Room to cut; lags too often. Rich guy not believable. Gd band.

Quirky, Fluffy, Great singing, Slow, Entertaining

See it if you enjoy young talent working hard to deliver - all four have good voices, one has great comedic talent and the plot is clever.

Don't see it if you expect songs that will remain with you - most seem to have the same sound. Set is a bit amateurish and at 2 hours a few spots lag.

Entertaining, Fluffy, Great singing

Don't see it if Plot was very predictable.

Dated, Great singing, Disappointing, Cliched, Banal

See it if You’re looking for a nice easy musical Devil Wears Prada type of situation.

Don't see it if You’re looking for a more serious musical entertainment.

Slow, Fluffy, Entertaining, Great singing

See it if a goofy musical w/ tongue-in-cheek characters sung by talented young actors appeals. Sure to be charmed by this spunky, charming ensemble!

Don't see it if you need elaborate sets, less cliched story lines and lyrics, posher venue (tho the AC was great). May find scene transitions clunky & slow.
