Bay Street Theater’s 2014 Mainstage Season culminates with the World Premiere of MY LIFE IS A MUSICAL, which runs July 29 – August 31.
The musical has book, music and lyrics by Adam Overett and will be directed and choreographed by Marlo Hunter. Presented in association with Martin Platt, David Elliott, Cheryl Wiesenfeld, Joan Raffe & Jhett Tolentino, and Patrick Blake.
MY LIFE IS A MUSICAL is about Parker, who isn’t like anyone else. When Parker wakes up in the morning and leaves his apartment, he hears people singing, he sees people dancing – and no other person on earth knows this is happening. Because Parker’s life is a musical. And Parker hates musicals. This world premiere features a tuneful new score by Adam Overett, and direction and choreography by Marlo Hunter, two rising stars of the musical theater follow Parker’s journey, both hilarious and human, as he struggles to hide his predicament from the world, tries to save a rock band, is pursued by a mysterious blogger, and possibly even finds love along the way.
