Based on this Instagram post, Justin Guarini is "emergency" replacing an actor who was injured, starting tomorrow night.  Is the music in the video recognizable or does anyone have any ideas which musical?

justinguariniToday’s other office...headed for my favorite spot...upon where I shall act foolish while trying to learn a new musical in 10 hours so I can emergency replace an injured actor on stage in front of an audience tomorrow night. Yikes!!!
Buuuuut, that’s how we do in #theater!! Tag someone who gets it.

Guarini has worked with Yazbeck previously. Could this be The Band's Visit?

It appears to be The New World, at Bucks County:

"Book by Regina DeCicco and L.F. Turner
Music by Gary Adler
Lyrics by Phoebe Kreutz
Choreographed by Lorin Latarro
Directed by Stafford Arima

The year is 1620. The Native Americans are enjoying gluten-free, low carb, artisanally happy life when they are invaded by the nation’s first immigrants — Pilgrims!  There goes the neighborhood in this world premiere musical comedy, where in the tradition of the great Broadway musicals, love wins!"

Although the description sounds iffy, what would keep me away is that director...

Not trying to be rude or snarky, just genuinely curious - what don't you like about Stafford Arima?

Can't speak for newintown - but I haven't been impressed with anything he's directed.   Boring, lacks insight, often a hot mess.

^ I have to agree.  When I see his name on anything, I always question purchasing tickets. He's so inconsistent - it's a love or hate thing with him IMO.

It's an appealing tune.

Thought it was something on Broadway but I guess that explains why I couldn't find any reports of injured actors.  I'm impressed that Justin jumped in and learned a completely new musical in two days to help out his local theater company; I just can't muster up much interest in this particular musical.
