Learn how a small two-person musical took on technology to create a soundscape like no other, and was named named Edinburgh Fringe's Best Musical by Musical Theater Review. Just before COVID hit. So the journey to off-Broadway, never an easy one, was complicated by shutdown. How did it finally find its way to a newly renovated theater on 46th Street? Why was that space the best choice for this show, and what were the pluses and minuses of being the first show in that space? In what ways, if any, was this small Edinburgh show rethought for New York?
