Minimum Wage

Flipping burgers in five-part harmony, the crew of Minimum Wage get ready to punch their time cards as an open-ended Off-Broadway run kicks off this Fall.

Directed by Guy Stroman, the hilarious songs of Sean Altman and The LaGreca Bros. come to life with nary a musician nor instrument in sight given the company’s acappella prowess.

Minimum Wage is an acappella musical in which five hapless staffers of a Big Brother-type fast food chain attempt to initiate new trainees (the audience) into the wonders of Hamburgerology. Working their way from the bottom all the way to the middle, these underachieving fast-food employees spend their days experiencing psychopathic French fry hallucinations and the occasional sci-fi spatula battle. With acappella songs like “Kooky The Happy Burger Klown” (an upbeat hypochondriac circus tune), “G-R-I Double-L” (a boy-meets-GRILL pop, serenade) and “Balls” (a melodic motto about taking life by the…oh you know), Minimum Wage is super-sized with dynamic harmonies, beatboxing and clockwork comic timing.
