Book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell
Music and Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick
Lauded by audience members and hailed by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years”

When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the
same time, Nick and Nigel Bottom set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the
scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
