About the Play
Harold! The Musical is a one-act flight of whimsy, which documents one man's struggle to find joy in his dystopian workaholic society. Join us in this absurdist dark comedy with Harold, a sub-par worker at Sludge Inc. (a corporation which produces "Business Bears," the first no-nonsense teddy of our time), who tries to bring song and dance to his wife, his town, and his co-workers with similarly sub-par results. Tempted by rumors of a singing town, Harold leaves his home to seek sunnier pastures - even if he must sacrifice his own sanity to complete the journey. Harold! pokes fun at cheesy Broadway musicals while simultaneously presenting the audience with a wide array of over-the-top Broadway numbers.
