Four seasoned actresses at the top of their game, but slim on prospects, find themselves competing for two parts in a new musical. The audition goes sideways when the director quits, the producer loses her nerve, and tempers flare as past betrayals are revealed. With original music, this humorous and often heartfelt glimpse behind the curtain shares the highs and lows of the compelling yet brutal nature of show business.

"Unfortunately, as women mature in the theatre world there are fewer good parts available despite a surplus of sensational talent," says Producing Artistic Director Sharon Maroney. "I saw an opportunity to explore this niche, and as I have a lot of life experience in this area, I thought I'd run with it and write a new musical."

Book, music, and lyrics written by Sharon Maroney. The Broadway Rose production will be directed by Sharon Maroney with music direction from Barney Stein and orchestrations by Jonathan Quesenberry. The artistic team includes choreographer Dan Murphy, scenic designer Kyra Sanford, lighting designer Kristeen Willis, costume designer Kimberly Hergert, properties designers Liz Carlson and Seth Renne, sound designer Brian Karl Moen, production manager Seth Renne, technical director Raef Wheaton, and production stage manager Jessica Junor.

The cast comprises Laurie Campbell-Leslie (Samantha), Courtney Freed (Linda), Lisamarie Harrison (Jennifer), Isaac Lamb (Ben), Laura McCulloch (Anika), and Emily Sahler (Mary Jo).
