I’ll spend two weeks as a resident writer in a studio at CAP21 (Collaborative Artists Project), where I will work on my show MY LIFE IS A MUSICAL. Update: my agent Sarah Douglas wisely told me about this show that we needed to see a moment with the main character, Parker, where “his guts are on the floor.” In other words, an eleven o’clock number. So during the course of these two weeks, I wrote the song “Not Gonna Sing,” which duly went into the eleven o’clock numbers lot of Act 2, and was performed in the presentation at the SoHo Playhouse in February …

In this two-person musical, I play a detective, Joe Kinosian plays a dozen-plus suspects, and we both play the piano. Written by Joe Kinosian (music and book) and Kellen Blair (lyrics and book), it is 90 0f the funniest minutes you will ever spend in a theater!
We open at the Eureka Theatre, under the auspices of the 42nd Street Moon company.
Info and tickets here!
Check out some reviews …

“A lovable foil … [Adam Overett] is a perfect straight man who is able to get his own share of laughs.” – The Troy Record
