During the 90 minute one-act,  they write and perform their show at the festival and learn lessons about themselves as people, friends and artists. [title of show] is, above all, a love letter to the musical theater—a uniquely American art form—and to the joy of collaboration. The musical received a Tony Award® nomination for Best Book of a Musical in 2009.

Fun fact: Duke alum Heidi Blickenstaff originated the role of "Heidi" and played herself in the show all the way through the process from the 2004 New York Musical Theater Festival to its 2008 Broadway run at the Lyceum.
