About the Show

This new musical takes a look at the lives of four best friends in a college theater department who dream of making it in New York.

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.

Critic Reviews (3)

I'll say this for 'The Green Room': There isn't a single moment that appears to have any connection with real life; that's something you don't see every day

"These four characters are, unfortunately, not interesting enough to fill a 90-minute musical, especially one that covers territory better served by other shows like 'A Chorus Line,' 'Fame 'and 'Merrily We Roll Along,' all superior to the earnest, but predictable 'Green Room.'"

"Cheesily produced, cliché-riddled, creakily written, and cartoonishly performed…While…Pelletier's mostly generic score, with acknowledged nods to…Sondheim and…Larson, is the show's most promising element, this cast-okay when singing harmony-lacks the chops to do the tougher ones much justice."
