A musical romp lampooning bad theater from way downtown to the Great White Way.

August in New York City can only mean one thing: It's getting kind of Fringy. This new musical romp has something to say about the NYC's current theatrical climate.

You need to see the only show in town where the Hilton sisters team up with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen while Rosie O'Donnell and Michael Reidel come dangerously close to falling in love.

The show features Michael Cyril Creighton (Hermitage of an Exiled Chain Smoker, NYC Fringe 2003), Billy Eichner (Nicky Goes Goth, NYC Fringe 2004) along with Emilee Dupree, Patrick Heusinger, Anne Jacoby, Maureen Straub, and Ryan Vaughn.
