BLOG: BAND GEEKS is Glee for Band Nerds

by Trish Causey

Thanks to the head's up by "Musical Theatre Talk" guest, Kathy Evans, we can keep our eyes peeled for info about a new show still in the workshop process but already making headlines. And if you love GLEE, you'll probably adore the new musical, Band Geeks.

Two-time Tony Award-winning Goodspeed Musicals announced that Band Geeks, the misfit hit of its 2009 Festival of New Artists, will get a second helping of nerd love next Spring at the Hartt School, part of the University of Hartford.

According to the Goodspeed Musicals' website:

"Enrollment is down, the budget is tight, and a cool new kid threatens tradition in the Cuyahoga High School Beavers Marching Band. Elliott, the husky tuba-playing band captain, must find a way to overcome his pride, unite this band of misfits, and help them win back their respect at the Festival of Champions!"

Band Geeks is scheduled to run at the Norma Terris Theatre from May 13 to June 6, 2010.
