Four Chairs and a Keyboard Make a Broadway Musical
By Lynda Wheatley | March 26, 2022
Theater geeks, rejoice: The mother ode to the utterly weird and wonderful world of Broadway, on and off, is getting its shot on the Old Town Playhouse stage in Traverse City. [title of show], the critically acclaimed musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical, follows struggling writers Hunter and Jeff as they race to write a show for a pressing festival entry. As the deadline looms, insecurities creep in, jealousies flare, and Broadway references, industry in-jokes, and snappy dialogue and lyrics fly. Funny, heartbreaking, and infinitely relatable to anyone who has ever tried to create…anything, [title of show] debuts at 7:30pm March 31 and runs until April 10, with six evening shows and two matinees between. Tickets—$28 per adult, $15 for those under 18—are on sale at oldtownplayhouse.com. Warning to those thinking of attending with someone much younger than 18: Like all great theater, this show contains adult language and situations. (Photo by Harpestar)
