BRUNCH The Musical is a rock musical about the New York City restaurant scene.
Contents
Brunch was most recently performed Off-Broadway in New York City at the American Theater of Actors in 2009, and featured Meghann Dreyfuss (formerly in Mamma Mia! on Broadway); Kevin Collins and Maxx Mann (former lead singer of the rock orchestra Trans-Siberian Orchestra).
Synopsis
The story takes place behind the scenes at a hip New York restaurant for which this is the big meal of the week (there are 200 reservations). The characters consist of wait staff and bussers, a few patrons, a manager, a bartender, and a chef.
Critical reception
Robert Windeler of Backstage magazine wrote, "You'd have to go to Broadway's Hair to find a more exuberant—not to mention more rock-oriented—current musical than this one." New Theater Corps described the show as, "A witty script filled with stinging one-liners and snappy comebacks. The rock and roll score starts off strong, fast, and loud, and keep it that way."
