Theatre Out, Orange County's gay and lesbian theatre company is thrilled to open their 2013 season with the Orange County premiere of the smash hit [title of show] beginning January 11, 2013.

[title of show], with music and lyrics by Jeff Bowen and book by Hunter Bell, follows Jeff and Hunter as they try to create an original musical in less than three weeks with the help of their friends Heidi and Susan. It's a musical about two guys trying to write a musical about two guys trying to write a musical and it unfolds in front of the audience as it is happening. Will they be able to write a new and exciting musical without resorting to the "tricks of the trade"? Touching, heartfelt, kooky and hilarious, [title of show] is a tribute to friendship and a love letter to the American musical.

[title of show] has been heralded by the New York Daily News as "Terrific! A kick-ass time!" And Entertainment Weekly called it "sly, sassy, inspired."

"What I love about [title of show]," commented the show's director Tito Ortiz, "Is that beneath its hilarious exterior, there is a show about four friends who come together to create a piece of art and end up becoming a family in the process."

David C. Carnevale, co-founder of Theatre Out, commented, "[title of show] is the perfect show to open our 2013 season. It's funny and touching and shows the audience a slice of what it takes to create a work of art."
