[title of show] is a musical that’s all about putting
on a musical.
I thought it was new but it actually premiered in 2004 and
was most recently performed in Auckland last year. I bet they had people
actually going to see it too.
The original cast was Jeff Bowen, Heidi Blickenstaff, Susan
Blackwell and Hunter Bell, who all played themselves. In this revival, the four
actors use the names of the original cast, rather than their own names. So Marc
Elliott plays Jeff, Lucie Jones plays Heidi, Jenna Russell plays Susan and
Tyrone Huntley plays Hunter. I think it would have added an extra twist if they
were playing themselves playing themselves, but maybe they’re not allowed to
change the script.
