 The Audience is a new musical about an audience watching a Broadway musical on its closing night.  With simultaneous storylines and original songs, The Audience uses the talents of 30 playwrights, composers, and lyricists and 46 actors to create the journey of one vibrant group of theatregoers who venture to a Broadway theatre one rainy Friday night to see a new contemporary American musical. The curtain rises on a piar of ushers stuffing programs. Soon the house opens and the audience gradually enter and take their seats…
