Synopsis

Join Claris and Vanessa in a cheeky musical revue where they reimagine crowd favourite musical theatre songs with a twist. Through humor and heart, these two actresses share the realities of casting—roles they’ll never play, the what-ifs, and the unexpected ups and downs of the industry. Expect witty stories, heartfelt moments, and hits from Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, and more—all with a twist. Part musical, part confessional, all in good fun!
