GMTWP Alum Karlan Judd (Cycle 17) had a staged reading of his latest show, OH MY GOD...BROADWAY!! produced at the York Theatre Company in NYC this past October. The reading featured the talents of Sally Struthers from Gilmore Girls and All in the Family, Thorgy Thor from RuPaul's Drag Race and RuPaul's All Stars, as well as Bonnie Milligan from Broadway's Head Over Heels.
OH MY GOD... BROADWAY!! is an over-the-top satirical farce exploring the craziness of the musical theatre industry from the perspective of a team of actors who may be close to the edge of insanity. This irreverent and referential riot of a show is strictly done with affection for all things musical theatre and is set for staged reading presentations at The York Theatre Company
When four frustrated actors have had enough of the ins and outs of show-biz knocking them down, they enlist the help of their mentor and agent, Gladys Mayweather (Sally Struthers) and hatch a plan to kidnap Marge, the producer who's decided to recast them with celebrity talent after a wildly successful Broadway workshop. Gladys is willing to do anything to help her "angels" make their Broadway debut and get out of the seemingly endless purgatory that is her day job at the Times Square Diner. When this quintet takes control of The Producing Office, the power goes to their heads. We discover who's in it for the right reasons, and who's in it only to avenge a dark grudge against the evil producer Marge Masterson! OH MY GOD... BROADWAY!! is a dark comedy that asks the eternal question: how far would you go to make your dreams come true?
