The Buzz

The premise of the play revolves around Jerry, who always wanted to be a Broadway performer. In the meantime, he toils as the lowly janitor for a local community theater. That all changes, however, when he gets hit in the head by a stage light and awakens in "Broadway Heaven."

The original show promises songs and scenes from many Broadway favorites.
