Senior Class Tickets

In association with Kevin Duda Productions, Inc.

When budget cuts to the arts program mean their high school theatre can’t pay for My Fair Lady, Colin and G.B., two Broadway-obsessed students, decide to stage their own original musical version of Shaw’s Pygmalion. The search for an actress to play Eliza Doolittle leads them to a Harlem-born-and-bred subway dancer who just might be perfect — but artistic egos and high school hierarchies threaten to undermine the production before the big opening night. As the quickly-assembled coalition of theatre kids, dance crew veterans, and the occasional jock, struggles to mount their production of My Leading Lady: A New Pygmalion... with a Preface and Sequel, the class and gender divides of Shaw’s original reemerge in surprising ways. Can the senior class musical be saved? (And will Colin score his much-wished-for “Jimmy” Award to launch his meteoric rise to stardom as the first-ever J-EGOT?) Amy Anders Corcoran (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) directs this World Premiere musical-lovers’ musical full of dancing and comedy, dedicated to the timeless belief that the show must go on!
