I was so busy getting ready for Plane Crazy's opening on Thursday I almost forgot about another NYMF alumnus, [title of show], starting previews tonight! How exciting! Break a leg guys (and gals!).

From this article on Playbill:

Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell's musical [title of show] begins its Off-Broadway run Feb. 15 at the Vineyard Theatre. The show opens Feb. 26 for a scheduled run through March 26.

Previously seen at the 2004 New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF), the uniquely titled musical reunites the original cast and creative team.

[title of show] -- which follows two young writers (Jeff and Hunter) as they "race to write and submit a show to the theatre festival" weeks before the deadline -- was born out of just that: Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell's race to complete an entry for the aforementioned festival. The musical also includes two of the scribe's friends who were enlisted for this journey. Bowen (The Who's Tommy) and Bell (Oh, Boy!) star with Susan Blackwell (The Heidi Chronicles) and Heidi Blickenstaff (The Full Monty).

The original creative team also returns with Tony Award nominee Michael Berresse (The Light in the Piazza, Kiss Me Kate) as the director-choreographer and Larry Pressgrove (Cats, Children's Letters To God) who provides musical arrangements and direction.

They are joined by the design team which features Neil Patel (set), Chase Tyler (costume), Ken Billington and Jason Kantrowitz (lighting), and ACME Sound Partners (sound).
