From the show:
Not since A Chorus Line and The Phantom of the Opera has there been such a rousing musical that tells the backstage story of the actors and their career aspirations in theater. Harkening to Sondheim's cult classic and oft-analyzed Merrily We Roll Along, THE GREEN ROOM takes us to a college theatre green room where a group of friends dream of being NOT on Broadway but Off-Broadway! We hitch a ride onto the journey of a group of four best friends in college who dream of making it in New York. John, Cliff, Anna and Divonne live out complicated lives in their college theatre department. A dream in their hand, a life to be led, what will happen to these four when life finds them in The Green Room.

Don't see it if you don't like small run down theaters, bad acoustics, and bad writng
See it if I like the small shows that really try. Every show starts somewhere so give this cute show a break! The acting is wonderful
Don't see it if You want big broadway. The music would be better performed with a 3 piece band... singing was great dates script but the actors worked hard
See it if you like musical theater, shows about finding your way through college, high energy, talented performances, great writing, great directing
Don't see it if you don't like musicals, you don't like independent, original theater, you want something super serious
Also This original show had me smiling from beginning to end, sprinkled wit... Read more Read less
