Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go. In adjoining cheap motel rooms, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next-door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. Buthere's some confusion as to who's in which room, who's being videotaped, who's taken the money, who's hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes.

The musical is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime.

It all begins when a die-hard musical-theater fan plays his favorite cast album on his turntable, and the musical literally bursts to life in his living room, telling the rambunctious tale of a brazen Broadway starlet trying to find, and keep, her true love. For more go here:
This Royal Shakespeare version follows closely the classic movie with all the musical hits you've come to love: Somewhere Over the Rainbow, If I Only Had A Brain, If I Were King of the Forest, Ding, Dong the Witch Is Dead and more.
