"Taking a page from Kelly Clarkson, who wears custom-made Metallica t-shirts while performing, Dave (Jesse Lenat), base-guitarist of Once Around the Sun's fictional band, 'B-Side,' will don a different t-shirt each night from local bands," according to a press article for the show.

Once Around the Sun, which opened at the Zipper Theatre (336 West 37th Street) on August 11th, takes "an honest, intimate, and irreverent look at one man's efforts to define himself as an artist and find his voice as a man. It has an original score that includes rock, pop and swing." With music and lyrics by Steven and Robert Morris and Joe Shane, and a book by Kellie Overbey, Once Around the Sun is directed by Jace Alexander (director of off-Bway's Snakebit, Lee Harvey Oswald in the original Assassins). The show stars Maya Days (Aida, Jesus Christ Superstar), John Hickok (Little Women, Parade), Lenat (Floyd Collins), Kevin Mambo, Caren Lyn Manuel (Brooklyn, Rent) and Asa Somers (Dance of the Vampires, The Rocky Horror Show).
