Photo Flash: An Instagram Look at F#%KING UP EVERYTHING, Beginning Off-Broadway Tonight

Jeremy Handelman/Off The Leash Productions kicks off the Off-Broadway Premiere of F#%KING UP EVERYTHING, the award-winning rock musical comedy by David Eric Davis and Sam Forman this week, beginning its open-ended run tonight, March 15 and opening March 24, 2013. The cast decided to document the show's rehearsal process via Instagram, and BroadwayWorld has a look backstage below!

The F#%KING UP EVERYTHING cast includes Max Crumm (TV's "You're the One That I Want," Broadway: Grease.

F#%KING UP EVERYTHING is a rock musical comedy with bongs, thongs and indie rock songs. It's also an old-fashioned boy-meets-girl love story.

Especially children's puppeteer Christian Schwartzelberg when he meets singer-songwriter Juliana, the girl of his dreams.
