BROADWAYWORLD.COM, the largest theatre and live entertainment website, is excited to bring you a 72-hour exclusive of UNDERSTUDIES, an award-winning mockumentary web series by co-creators Elisabeth Gray and Daniel Zimbler that follows Astoria Bagg (Gray) on her mission to 'make it' on Broadway. Between navigating the backstage dramas of a high-end Broadway production of Twilight At Tiffany's (a groundbreaking new play combining the best of Breakfast at Tiffany's and Twilight) and the trauma wrought by a competitive, Tony-award winning mother, Astoria seeks to find her place as an artist in the city of a thousand stages. The cast includes Richard Kind (Spin City, A Serious Man), Tony Award-winner and Golden Globe-nominee Elizabeth Ashley, and Tony Award-nominee Alison Fraser.

Check out the first three episodes of UNDERSTUDIES below, where they will be available exclusively for three days. After this time, episodes will appear on the UNDERSTUDIES YouTube Channel, also home to exclusive bonus footage and interviews with favorite characters. Be sure to check back later BroadwayWorld.com for all twelve installments of the first season!
