THE JORDAN & AVERY SHOW follows a pair of broke-ass bestie Youtube comedians being evicted from the 3 bedroom apartment they can no longer afford. Their drunk, desperate, sarcastic, musical video about it goes viral which changes their world. They perform on talk shows, get a shot at producing their own (basic cable) show, but also slowly unravel not talking about who they lost in the third bedroom.
Helmed by Jess McLeod, THE JORDAN & AVERY SHOW features music direction by Diana Lawrence who will be accompanied by Skyler Fortgang. The sad comedy was previously developed at The Eugene O’Neill Musical Theater Conference and currently under commission by Theater Latté Da.
The roles of Jordan and Avery are written for any ethnicity or gender and will be played interchangeably throughout the night by an all star cast.
Featured performers include Ally Bonino (Suffs), Damon Daunno (Oklahoma!, The Lonely Few), Ashley D Kelley (Shucked, Insatiable), Alexander Gemignani (Hamilton), Manu Narayan (Company), Jon-Michael Reese (The Fires), Sushma Saha (Interstate), Nora Schell (Cats: A Jellicle Ball), Cindy Tsai (The Chinese Lady), Jason Veasey (Only Murders in the Building, A Strange Loop), and writer Jay Adana.
