From the Tony-award winning authors of Falsettos, here is an energetic, sardonic, often comical musical about a composer during a medical emergency ...

Gordon collapses into his lunch and awakes in the hospital surrounded by his maritime-enthusiast lover, his mother, a co-worker, the doctor and the nurses

Reluctantly, he had been composing a song for a children's television show that features a frog - Mr Bungee - and the spector of this large green character and the unfinished work haunts him throughout his medical ordeal

What was thought to be a tumor turns out to be something more operable and Gordon recovers, grateful for a chance to compose the songs he yearns to produce

"Jaunty [with] moments of captivating eccentricity" ~ NY Times

"Apt and original ... a fascinating story" ~ NY Post

"Filled with beguiling, buoyant melody [and] witty and original lyrics . . . The kind of musical theatre invention we have come to expect from this gifted artist" ~ InTheatre
