Need a new obsession? There's never bene a better time to binge! BroadwayWorld is excited to bring you our latest series- Rachel Unraveled. Created by, written by, and starring Rachel Ravel and Austin Spero, Rachel Unraveled is a musical comedy web series following the real-life Ravel's outlandish alter-ego, a self-proclaimed star with a lot of heart and no talent, as she strives to make it big in the Big Apple. Whether she's dazzling casting directors (Maria-Christina Oliveras, Amelie) with audition songs written by her neighborhood homeless man (Jon Rua, Hamilton, Spongebob), re-enacting Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals shot-by-shot on the streets of Harlem, or taking her food delivery guy hostage, Rachel's blind ambition and (well-intentioned) narcissistic tendencies may not book her Broadway, but they will land her in countless song-filled misadventures scattered across the city.
