Playwright Itamar Moses and musician Gaby Alter, childhood acquaintances from Berkeley, reunite creatively in Brooklyn to produce a new musical inspired by a reality TV show. Directed by Pam MacKinnon, this musical explores themes of love and social media stardom, showcasing their evolution as collaborators. Their work, which first debuted Off Broadway, features a classic romantic comedy structure and aims to entertain while resonating with contemporary audiences. Moses reflects on their individual strengths and the synergy of their collaboration in the creative process.
When we first started collaborating, I found it wonderful because Itamar had a distinctive voice and craft that enhanced my musical ideas. It just clicked.
The premise of a reality TV show allows for a fresh, comedic approach that's perfect for a musical, blending humor with the relatable quest for love.
