Title of Show-Original Broadcast Recording 

And now it's time for something completely different.

And Title of Show surely is. It's a musical based with four outstanding actors/actresses playing themselves and a keyboard that looks like it's from the 1980's. Or, in the words of Hunter, one of the main characters, it's "a musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical." In other words, it's meta. 

Title of Show has great songs, but it's more character based. The chemistry they have together is so outstanding that you can't help but be hooked in. The two women (Heidi and Susan in the original, but the names can be changed to the performers actually doing it) steal the show with their charm, wit and banter-but the two male leads (Hunter and Jeff) are often times just as amazing. 

Title of Show is funny without being cheesy and it's surprisingly touching. A few of the songs are real tearjerkers because you like the characters so much and you believe in their story. Just when they go of the heartstrings-they pull you right back into a Seinfeld-esque "No hugging and making up in the end" style. 

Title of Show is the most underrated musical of the last two decades. It's too quirky for Broadway, but that's okay. Quirky is good.
