Like You Like It, the award-winning musical based on the Bard's As You Like It set at a mall in the 1980s, recently wrapped vocal recordings on the upcoming Studio Cast RADcording, coming from Broadway Records this fall.

A year ago today, Like You Like It played a sold-out, star-filled concert at 54 Below to celebrate Shakespeare's 450th birthday. Today, the authors are launching a five-week crowdfunding campaign today to cover some completion costs. The link is: http://rkthb.co/55302

All the world's a mall in Like You Like It, a totally awesome blend of As You Like It and the John Hughes movies of the 1980s. The winner of Best Musical at the 2009 NY Innovative Theatre Awards for the lauded Gallery Players production and a festival favorite in the inaugural NYMF, Like You Like It has been performed extensively in regional theaters, festivals, colleges and high schools, and is soon to be published by Playscripts, Inc. www.likeyoulikeit.com
