Stage Rights Musical of the Week — Gary Goldfarb: Master Escapist

By   Posted 8.15.2019   coming of age, high school, musical comedy, Houdini

Gary has his sights set on Cheryl, the most beautiful girl in school. However, Gary is a bit of a recluse, obsessed with being a magician, and has a strong love of food… you could say his chances of winning her over are slim. In a last-ditch effort to win his true love, Gary plans to execute Harry Houdini’s most dangerous escape at the school talent show, but can he pull it off? And can his friend Penelope talk some sense into him before it’s too late?! Winner of the 2013 Stage Rights/NYMF Publishing Award, a program of The New York Musical Theatre Festival, Gary Goldfarb brings you back to those rather awkward years and conjures up the magic, foolishness, and hilarity of high school.
