This story on NPR...

...was the first I'd heard of it.

Has anyone gone, or is anyone planning to attend?

It's fantastic and I am sure it will have a future outside of La Jolla.

A friend saw a workshop of it in NY. Said it was pretty great and showed strong potential.

I didn't know Norbert was ever a part of it, but actually thought about how perfect he'd be for it a few times during the show. Hunter is very good though.

I remember listening to the orignal piece on THIS AMERICAN LIFE way back when

Really looking forward to checking this out next week and I love Trey from Phish so very interested to see how the music is.

This kind of plot is the thing you see on cartoons and comedies, but I think it's really cool that it's a musical. I'm sure it's really good.

I saw it the first week of previews. It was OK, but it still needed a lot of work, and now, two weeks later, I can't say I particularly remember any of the numbers, other than "Burn That Bridge When I Get To It" or whatever it was called. Jay Armstrong Johnson and Allison Case were quite charming, though, and Hunter Foster is quite talented (his character can't quite be called charming).

I would pay to see Keala read the phone book.
