HA! The Musical Goes Inside Standup Comedy

HA! The Musical, a new tuner about the behind-the-scenes world of standup comedy, will premiere at New York City's Stage 72 with five performances running from August 2-7.

Directed by Broadway's Darren Katz (resident director of The Lion King), the production features a roster of accomplished comedians from stage and screen including Christian Finnegan (Chappelle's Show), Kevin Farley (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Jay Oakerson (IFC's Z Rock), Bill Dawes (Bronx Bombers), Casey Balsham (Gotham Live), and Shawn Pearlman (Comedy Bang Bang). The musical includes a book by Emmy Award-winning producer and writer Michelle Wendt and original music by Julian Velard.

The show is described as follows: "Combining endearing and entertaining group and solo numbers alongside laugh-out-loud sets of standup, in the end, HA! The Musical takes the audience down the rabbit hole into the depths of the comedy universe and attempts to answer that age-old question: What is funny?"
