Theater Outing-Ferndale

Broadway's "little show that could," about two New York actors creating the very show they're performing, will get its Michigan premiere this winter at The Ringwald Theatre courtesy of Who Wants Cake? The charming Jeff Bowen

and Hunter Bell musical,

[title of show], opens Friday, February 19th and plays for an exclusive four week engagement ending on Monday, March 15th.

[title of show], is all about making your dreams come true, while understanding the reality of having to work hard to achieve what you want. It is the story of two struggling young writers writing a new musical about two struggling young writers writing a new musical. It is the ultimate post-modern meta-musical that references itself and its emotionally harrowing journey about art, the creation of art, selling out, and fame. It features such songs as "Die Vampire, Die!" "Way Back to Then," and "Nine People's Favorite Thing."

[title of show], started with "Two Nobodies in New York," Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell, who decided to submit something for the 2004 New York Musical Theatre Festival just three weeks before the deadline. They began chronicling their own process and crafted an original story that just happens to be (with some artistic license taken) autobiographical, so they cast themselves in the roles along with their two friends, Susan Blackwell and Heidi Blickenstaff. At the festival the right people took notice and the show traveled to the Vineyard Theatre for an off-Broadway staging in 2006 which garnered OBIE awards for the co-creators, and transferred to Broadway in 2008 for three months where Bell received a Tony nomination for Best Book of a Musical.

Tickets for [title of show], are $20.00 on Friday and Saturday nights at 8PM, $15.00 for Sunday matinees at 3PM and Monday 8PM performances are HALF OFF normal ticket price at $10.00 a ticket.
