This show recounts how the RomCom starring stoner became an A-list award winner. Matthew has a loyal agent, his best friend Woody Harrelson, and his beloved bongos. Now all he needs is to be taken seriously as an actor. Enter a demon with a deal from the Devil himself. Friendship, love and loyalty are all tested in this hell-raising adventure to win Matthew the Oscar…and save his soul.
The musical performed a staged reading at Lakewood Center for the Arts, during the the 2016 Fertile Ground Festival.
The New York Musical Festival will run in midtown Manhattan this summer from July 10th-August 6th. Dates and Venue for the musical will be announced at a later date.
