Being nine people's favorite thing really paid off! More, please!

One of the greatest shows to hit Broadway, [title of show], is joining other B-Way stars and comedians for the R Family Vacations Summer Cruise! Amazing!

[title of show] is a musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical. I'll continue if you're not confused yet (if so...too bad). This is considered to be the "underdog musical" because of it's original content and fantastic storyline. The actors in the show say that they play more concentrated versions of themselves. This show is a recipient of three Obie Awards and the writiers of the book, music, and lyrics, Hunter Bell and Jeff Bowen, both received GLADD media award nominations for the show. After moving to Broadway from its wildly successful performance Off-Broadway...it left B-Way. But after a few months, so it had a good run and made its mark as an original Broadway musical like the show intended to be. For more information about it, visit the show's site or check out their soundtrack, available off of Ghostlight Records.

Now, I love this show. The songs never get old, and the story still makes me laugh. Being an aspiring actor myself, its great to see something like this make Broadway. And though I don't necessarily want to be on B-way, I still find a great inspiration in the show as being something imperfect and not flashy, but something true to the heart of theatre. With this, I missed the entire run of the show, which makes me wonder. Will the show return a run? Will it tour like it deserves to? Or is this engagement on a cruise the last stand for this outstanding work of art? Questions, questions, questions, but I really am looking forward to seeing further information about the show.
