Hunter and Jeff have an idea: They are going to create a new musical starring themselves and their friends. As it turns out, the play becomes a hit, and story follows their successes. This play is a fun homage to the backstage musical format, where the play you are watching is about the production of the play itself. A fun and unique twist on the classic format.
