Nerds://A Musical Software Satire

The New York Musical Theatre Festival will present 6 performances Nerds://A Musical Software Satire this September at the Beckett Theatre on W. 42nd St. Nerds is a new musical about the computer and software revolution, with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs at center stage.

Featuring song titles such as "Stroll Through the PARC," "A Revolution Starts with One," "Let's Merge" and "I've Gotta Lotta Money," Nerds is an outrageous epic take on the parallel stories of computer pioneers Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, two technological geniuses, as they blaze a path from 'garage inventors' to warring titans of the computer revolution!

First Pirates of Silicon Valley, now Nerds in New York. This will have to be seen to be believed. Tickets are only $15 and performances run Sept. 20 at 8 PM, Sept. 24 at 8 PM, Sept. 25 at 8 PM, Sept. 28 at 1 PM, Sept. 29 at 4:30 PM and Oct. 1 at 4:30 PM. Additional info available at nerdsthemusical.com.

As a former theatre geek and current Apple pundit, I'm dually obligated to be there. Anyone want to join me?

I went to see this on Oct 1st and it was absolutely freaking hysterical. I can think of at least 100 people I know who need to see this show. Mac heads, nerds, geeks, techie mavens...all need to see it. I hope the producers decide to show it in other venues. Brilliant show!

hahahahahaha! I was wondering who would figure out a way to make musicals even more annoying. I am kidding a little..... at least it is a way to possibly bring in a new audience to the theater. I can't wait to hear some reviews even if I am not at all likely to go.

I'll see it if it ever makes it to San Franciso. Looks like a hoot!
