April NYC Workshop: CANCELLED!! NEW STUDIO DEMO — “Good Thing” sung by Hannah Bonnett

Picking up where Disney leaves off, losers Vinnie and Boris find their expensive music degrees have left them nearly homeless and penniless. When their high school commissions a government-funded televised play to save the National Endowment for the Arts, the two broke guys pen a jolly show about poverty — HOBO HEAVEN: TURN OFF THE POOR. Psychotic teachers, violent angels, and Martha Stewart join forces as our Bohemian writers rescue/exploit the arts in this tragic multicultural festival of friendship, artistic prostitution, magic, topical social issues, and reefer madness.
Littered with pointless espionage, irritating fundraisers, the ghost of Bea Arthur, and the greatest 10:13 showstopper in the history of Polish folk songs, Not Another High School Musical explores the creation of art, selling one’s dignity, and the self-discovery process artists suffer as it violates your senses. JJ Novembrini’s eclectic and baffling original score of such whimsical tunes as “Hobo Heaven”, “An Apple a Day”, “Whore For the Arts”, “Children Are the Future”, “In the Shadows”, “Good Thing”, and “You’re Still Crippled?” (deemed too offensive) will leave audiences wondering and crying as the story crashes to a chilling resolution...although we did cut the risqué and expensive scene where Martha Stewart cooks the turkey in a trash can.
