WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Written and performed by Tony Award nominee David Pittu, What's That Smell: The Music of Jacob Sterling transfers to New World Stages.
The show is an absurd musical satire that charts the career of eternally up-and-coming (and fictitious) musical theater composer Jacob Sterling. A rare, up close and personal visit with an artist of questionable gifts who performs from his songbook and shares his human struggle to keep musical theater alive and well in the 21st century. Original music by Randy Redd.

While the show features a delicious performance from its star David Pittu (who is also the playwright, lyricist, and co-director with Neil Pepe) it's essentially an extended one-joke skit that wears thin before its full 80-minute running time runs out.
The show takes place during the taping of a cable TV talk show called Composers and Lyricists Of Tomorrow (CLOT, for short; one of the t[...]
