Synopsis:
There’s a song writing team—but they aren’t a team when the musical begins. Vernon is already a successful composer (think Marvin Hamlisch). Sonia is slightly crazy but very talented lyricist (think Carole Bayer Sager). First, she’s intimidated working with such a successful man. But that doesn’t last very long and sparks begin to fly—professional and romantic sparks. (Think Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager’s real life romance.) Ten great songs performed by Vernon, Sonia & their Greek chorus of inner voices share their story in a great script by Neil Simon.
Characters:
4 Male presenting, 4 Female presenting
All roles available
