Calling all Musical Theatre Nerds that's MTN for short! This story begins with Jack & Louisa visiting NYC over New Year's and attending more Broadway shows than I'll ever be able to afford in a lifetime. I guess it pays to have friends on Broadway (but I digress). Once back in Shaker Heights their attention returns to school and the next musical their school will be performing; Guys & Dolls. Over the break their music teacher had a skiing accident and will be unable to direct. Luckily a former student and Broadway actress agrees to come back to town direct. Jack & Louisa are ecstatic and begin their plan to be cast and Nathan and Adelaide. Eventually Jack & Louisa notice there's something not quite right with the repeated negative attention Jack receives. It all comes to head at rehearsal and Louisa blows her top in defense of Jack. Will the show go on or will the cast walk out?
Side note: This book will make you dig out the Broadway soundtracks of Chorus Line and Guys & Dolls.
Recommended for any lover of the theatre!
