The show is the autobiographical story of a theatre composer who is diagnosed with a brain disorder and who worries that he'll die without leaving anything of worth behind. The score includes songs like "Trouble in His Brain," "Poor, Unsuccessful, and Fat," "A Really Lousy Day in the Universe," "Eating Myself Up Alive," and "The Homeless Lady's Revenge." L. Walter Stearns directs, with musical direction by Eugene Dizon.
