Steve: A Docu-Musical

A Docu-​musical?
What is a Docu-​musical?
Just the title of this performance made me want to go see this.
Surprisingly it was very entertaining and very funny.
The one man play (two man if you count Steve) is a documentation of of Colin Summer’s collaboration and interaction with Steve from Australia.
Colin business at that time was an online service to translate client’s poems to music; so this is where the musical portion came from.
Colin present his collaboration and the many music he had created with Steve.
The play is funny and the music is great.
The play will end very soon so go now. The theater is open seating so get there on time to grab the front seats!

STEVE: A DOCU-​MUSICAL is a play that is based on the true story of Colin Summer’s 8-​year online correspondence and artistic collaboration with Steve, a Gen X Australian. Steve, the lyricist, and Colin, the musician, has co-​written hundreds of songs together.
It’s a story that tells a tale of how music, the Internet and computers brought these lives together in the modern world. Colin and Steve live on opposite ends of the Earth. Colin lives in the NE US and Steve in Australia. Colin had a partner, Andrew, who helped him co-​produce the music. Colin and Andrew first worked with Steve when Steve found
and hired the musical team to score his lyrics.
I laughed, sang, and really enjoyed this «docu-​musical» so much. This one-​man narrative story is written by and told to the audience by Colin Summers. I felt Colin was a very likable, charming young fellow that has a gift for music and telling stories as well. Colin not one time makes fun of Steve. I got to understand from Colin how genuinely interested he is in who Steve is.
I was half hoping for Steve to pop out to say hi to the audience!
This show is utterly charming. The play will stop playing at The 4^th Street Theatre August 22, 2015. I highly recommend this Off-​Broadway production. Tickets are inexpensive $ 16 in advance and $ 20 at the door.
I watch a lot of plays in general and Steve: A Docu-​Musical has been my favorite play, as of recently. This play really warmed my heart.
